[PATCH v16 08/22] mm/thp: narrow lru locking

lru_lock and page cache xa_lock have no reason with current sequence,
put them together isn't necessary. let's narrow the lru locking, but
left the local_irq_disable to block interrupt re-entry and statistic update.

Hugh Dickins point: split_huge_page_to_list() was already silly,to be
using the _irqsave variant: it's just been taking sleeping locks, so
would already be broken if entered with interrupts enabled.
so we can save passing flags argument down to __split_huge_page().
