mm/munlock: delete FOLL_MLOCK and FOLL_POPULATE

Browse source 
If counting page mlocks, we must not double-count: follow_page_pte() can
tell if a page has already been Mlocked or not, but cannot tell if a pte
has already been counted or not: that will have to be done when the pte
is mapped in (which lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() already tracks
for new anon pages, but there's no such tracking yet for others).

Delete all the FOLL_MLOCK code - faulting in the missing pages will do
all that is necessary, without special mlock_vma_page() calls from here.

But then FOLL_POPULATE turns out to serve no purpose - it was there so
that its absence would tell faultin_page() not to faultin page when
setting up VM_LOCKONFAULT areas; but if there's no special work needed
here for mlock, then there's no work at all here for VM_LOCKONFAULT.

Have I got that right?  I've not looked into the history, but see that
FOLL_POPULATE goes back before VM_LOCKONFAULT: did it serve a different
purpose before?  Ah, yes, it was used to skip the old stack guard page.

And is it intentional that COW is not broken on existing pages when
setting up a VM_LOCKONFAULT area?  I can see that being argued either
way, and have no reason to disagree with current behaviour.
