* munlock_vma_page - munlock a vma page
* @page - page to be unlocked
*
* Note: unlike mlock_vma_page(), we can't just clear the PageMlocked
* [in try_to_munlock()] and then attempt to isolate the page. We must
* isolate the page to keep others from messing with its unevictable
* and mlocked state while trying to munlock. However, we pre-clear the
* mlocked state anyway as we might lose the isolation race and we might
* not get another chance to clear PageMlocked. If we successfully
* isolate the page and try_to_munlock() detects other VM_LOCKED vmas
* mapping the page, it will restore the PageMlocked state, unless the page
* is mapped in a non-linear vma. So, we go ahead and ClearPageMlocked(),
* perhaps redundantly.
* If we lose the isolation race, and the page is mapped by other VM_LOCKED
* vmas, we'll detect this in vmscan--via try_to_munlock() or try_to_unmap()
* either of which will restore the PageMlocked state by calling
* mlock_vma_page() above, if it can grab the vma's mmap sem.
* called from munlock()/munmap() path with page supposedly on the LRU.
* When we munlock a page, because the vma where we found the page is being
* munlock()ed or munmap()ed, we want to check whether other vmas hold the
* page locked so that we can leave it on the unevictable lru list and not
* bother vmscan with it. However, to walk the page's rmap list in
* try_to_munlock() we must isolate the page from the LRU. If some other
* task has removed the page from the LRU, we won't be able to do that.
* So we clear the PageMlocked as we might not get another chance. If we
* can't isolate the page, we leave it for putback_lru_page() and vmscan
* [page_referenced()/try_to_unmap()] to deal with.
