Syzbot reported [1] a bad page state problem caused by a page
being freed using free_page() still having a mlocked flag at
free_pages_prepare() stage:

The problem was originally introduced by
commit b109b87050df ("mm/munlock: replace clear_page_mlock() by final
clearance"): it was handling focused on handling pagecache
and anonymous memory and wasn't suitable for lower level
get_page()/free_page() API's used for example by KVM, as with
this reproducer.
Fix it by moving the mlocked flag clearance down to
free_page_prepare().
The bug itself if fairly old and harmless (aside from generating these
warnings), so the stable backport is likely not justified.
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/report.txt?x=169a47d0580000
