We should not be seeing non-0 unevictable_pgs_mlockfreed any longer.
So remove free_page_mlock() from the page freeing paths: __PG_MLOCKED
is already in PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_FREE, so free_pages_check() will now
be checking it, reporting "BUG: Bad page state" if it's ever found set.
Comment UNEVICTABLE_MLOCKFREED and unevictable_pgs_mlockfreed always 0.
I would have just removed it because I don't see too many users
relying on it being there.  But I'm fine with keeping it for now.
