Subject: mm/madvise.c: fix freeing of locked page with MADV_FREE
If madvise(..., MADV_FREE) split a transparent hugepage, it called
put_page() before unlock_page(). This was wrong because put_page() can
free the page, e.g. if a concurrent madvise(..., MADV_DONTNEED) has
removed it from the memory mapping. put_page() then rightfully complained
about freeing a locked page.
Fix this by moving the unlock_page() before put_page().
This bug was found by syzkaller, which encountered the following splat:

pthread_join(t[0], NULL);
pthread_join(t[1], NULL);
munmap(mapping, mapping_size);
}
}
Note: to see the splat, CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y and
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y are needed.
