mlocked_vma_newpage() is only called in fault path by
page_add_new_anon_rmap(), which is called on a *new* page.
And such page is initially only visible via the pagetables, and the
pte is locked while calling page_add_new_anon_rmap(), so we need not
use an irq-safe mod_zone_page_state() here, using a light-weight version
__mod_zone_page_state() would be OK.

And as suggested by Andrew, to reduce the risks that new call sites
incorrectly using mlocked_vma_newpage() without knowing they are adding
racing, this patch also moves it from internal.h to right before its only
call site page_add_new_anon_rmap() in rmap.c, with detailed document added.
