it has the same problem because we scan those pages always at the
physical side and always at the pagetable side. we could avoid scanning
them at the pagetable side, but we scan them anyways exactly to be able
to call mark_page_accessed that will move the page in the active list,
so the physical side doesn't waste an excessive amount of cpu on
unfreeable mlocked pages.
the trick is to keep marking those mlocked pages as accessed (so they go
into the active list) every time we encounter them and we find them
mlocked, so they're not in our way all the time.
