Commit ab521b4142aa ("mm/rmap: improve mlock tracking for large folios")
mlocks a large folio when all its pages are added in one rmap operation.
However, when a PTE-mapped large folio is migrated, remove_migration_pte()
restores PTEs individually, passing nr_pages = 1 to the rmap helpers. As a
result, PG_mlocked is not set on the destination folio.
Reclaim can restore mlock in try_to_unmap(), but Mlocked in /proc/meminfo
remains undercounted until that scan occurs.
Restore mlock once the full mapping has been restored in a locked VMA
under one page table lock, rather than waiting for try_to_unmap() to
restore the mlock state.
