thp: fix another corner case of munlock() vs. THPs
The following test case triggers BUG() in munlock_vma_pages_range():

	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
	{
		int fd;

		system("mount -t tmpfs -o huge=always none /mnt");
		fd = open("/mnt/test", O_CREAT | O_RDWR);
		ftruncate(fd, 4UL << 20);
		mmap(NULL, 4UL << 20, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
				MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED | MAP_LOCKED, fd, 0);
		mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
				MAP_SHARED | MAP_LOCKED, fd, 0);
		munlockall();
		return 0;
	}

The second mmap() create PTE-mapping of the first huge page in file.  It
makes kernel munlock the page as we never keep PTE-mapped page mlocked.

On munlockall() when we handle vma created by the first mmap(),
munlock_vma_page() returns page_mask == 0, as the page is not mlocked
anymore.  On next iteration follow_page_mask() return tail page, but
page_mask is HPAGE_NR_PAGES - 1.  It makes us skip to the first tail
page of the next huge page and step on
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageMlocked(page)).

The fix is not use the page_mask from follow_page_mask() at all.  It has
no use for us.
