[PATCH V4 1/6] mm: mlock: Refactor mlock, munlock, and munlockall code

Eric B Munson

With the exception of mlockall() none of the mlock family of system
calls take a flags argument so they are not extensible. A later patch
in this set will extend the mlock family to support a middle ground
between pages that are locked and faulted in immediately and unlocked
pages. To pave the way for the new system calls, the code needs some
reorganization so that all the actual entry points handle is checking
input and translating to VMA flags.

This patch mostly moves code around with the exception of
do_munlockall(). All three functions are changed to support a follow on
patch which introduces new system calls that allow the user to specify
flags for these calls.
