[PATCH 24/25] Mlocked Pages: count attempts to free mlocked page

[Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com>]

From: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com>

Against:  2.6.26-rc2-mm1

Allow free of mlock()ed pages.  This shouldn't happen, but during
developement, it occasionally did.

This patch allows us to survive that condition, while keeping the
statistics and events correct for debug.
