When performing mlock() or munlock() otherwise normal VMAs have VMA_IO_BIT
solely to fix a race with migration which might otherwise double-count
mlock VMAs.

This is unnecessary - at the point of applying folio mlock state, whether
setting or clearing PG_mlocked, we know whether or not we are locking.

Solve this in two ways - thread a boolean through the page table walk
indicating whether a lock or unlock is being performed, and run a locking
walk with VMA_LOCKONFAULT_BIT set and VMA_LOCKED_BIT cleared.

This state never occurs otherwise, as VMA_LOCKONFAULT_BIT always implies
VMA_LOCKED_BIT. These are also always cleared together.

Then, update folio_add_lru_vma() and mlock_folio() to check only for
VMA_LOCKED_BIT, and update try_to_unmap_one() to check for VMA_LOCKED_MASK
instead.

Also remove the useless invocation of allow_mlock_munlock() which simply
returns true if unlocking and instead rename it to allow_mlock() and only
call it when locking.

Finally, with the other mlock abuse of VMA_IO_BIT addressed, update
mlock_vma_folio() and folio_add_lru_vma() to simply test for
VMA_LOCKED_BIT. munlock_vma_folio() tests VMA_LOCKED_MASK instead, as an
unmap racing with the locking walk must still munlock folios the walk has
already counted.

While here, also replace some deprecated VMA flag predicates.
