mm: remove lru_add_drain_all() from the munlock path



lockdep warns about following message at boot time on one of my test
machine.  Then, schedule_on_each_cpu() sholdn't be called when the task
have mmap_sem.

Actually, lru_add_drain_all() exist to prevent the unevictalble pages
stay on reclaimable lru list.  but currenct unevictable code can rescue
unevictable pages although it stay on reclaimable list.

So removing is better.

In addition, this patch add lru_add_drain_all() to sys_mlock() and
sys_mlockall().  it isn't must.  but it reduce the failure of moving to
unevictable list.  its failure can rescue in vmscan later.  but reducing
is better.

Note, if above rescuing happend, the Mlocked and the Unevictable field
mismatching happend in /proc/meminfo.  but it doesn't cause any real
trouble.

lvm/1103 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.
