[patch 1/3] mm: decouple unevictable lru from mmu

[Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>]

Mlock is only one source of unevictable pages but with the unevictable
lru enabled, mlock code is referenced unconditionally.

Decouple the two so that the unevictable lru can work without mlock
and thus on nommu setups where we still have unevictable pages from
e.g. ramfs.
