From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit e3741b506c5088fa8c911bb5884c430f770fb49d upstream.

There should be no references to it any more and a parallel mark should
not be reordered against us.  Use non-locked varient to clear page active.
