[PATCH 3/6] mm: move VM_LOCKED check to __mlock_vma_pages_range()

From: Michel Lespinasse
Date: Thu Dec 02 2010 - 19:18:14 EST


Use a single code path for faulting in pages during mlock.

The reason to have it in this patch series is that I did not want to
update both code paths in a later change that releases mmap_sem when
blocking on disk.
