Is this function name right?

Because the only action this function seems to take is to call
*mlock*_vma_page()

But this is also called try_to_munlock ??

/**
 * try_to_munlock - try to munlock a page
 * @page: the page to be munlocked
 *
 * Called from munlock code.  Checks all of the VMAs mapping the page

 */

So what clears PG_mlocked on this call path?

Something needs attention here..
