mm: fix invalidate_complete_page2() lock ordering
In fuzzing with trinity, lockdep protested "possible irq lock inversion
dependency detected" when isolate_lru_page() reenabled interrupts while
still holding the supposedly irq-safe tree_lock:
invalidate_inode_pages2
invalidate_complete_page2
spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock)
clear_page_mlock
isolate_lru_page
spin_unlock_irq(&zone->lru_lock)
isolate_lru_page() is correct to enable interrupts unconditionally:
invalidate_complete_page2() is incorrect to call clear_page_mlock() while
holding tree_lock, which is supposed to nest inside lru_lock.
Both truncate_complete_page() and invalidate_complete_page() call
clear_page_mlock() before taking tree_lock to remove page from radix_tree.
I guess invalidate_complete_page2() preferred to test PageDirty (again)
under tree_lock before committing to the munlock; but since the page has
already been unmapped, its state is already somewhat inconsistent, and no
worse if clear_page_mlock() moved up.
