Memory error handler calls try_to_unmap() for error pages in various
states. If the error page is a mlocked page, error handling could fail
with "still referenced by 1 users" message. This is because the page
is linked to and stays in lru cache after the following call chain.
try_to_unmap_one
page_remove_rmap
clear_page_mlock
putback_lru_page
lru_cache_add
memory_failure() calls shake_page() to hanlde the similar issue, but
current code doesn't cover because shake_page() is called only before
try_to_unmap(). So this patches adds shake_page().
