mm: perform non-atomic test-clear of PG_mlocked on free

Browse source 
By the time PG_mlocked is cleared in the page freeing path, nobody else is
looking at our page->flags anymore.

It is thus safe to make the test-and-clear non-atomic and thereby removing
an unnecessary and expensive operation from a hotpath.
