This looks like a fix in that mlock_pte_range() *does* call mlock_folio() when pmd_trans_huge_lock() returns a non-NULL @ptl. So it is not in preparation for a future change it is making the pte and pmd cases behave the same to drop mlock requests. The code change looks good, but do add a Fixes tag and reword the changelog a bit before adding: Reviewed-by: Dan Williams <[email protected]>
