mm/migrate: __unmap_and_move() push good newpage to LRU

Compaction, NUMA page movement, THP collapse/split, and memory failure
do isolate unevictable pages from their "LRU", losing the record of
mlock_count in doing so (isolators are likely to use page->lru for their
own private lists, so mlock_count has to be presumed lost).

That's unfortunate, and we should put in some work to correct that: one
can imagine a function to build up the mlock_count again - but it would
require i_mmap_rwsem for read, so be careful where it's called.  Or
page_referenced_one() and try_to_unmap_one() might do that extra work.

But one place that can very easily be improved is page migration's
__unmap_and_move(): a small adjustment to where the successful new page
is put back on LRU, and its mlock_count (if any) is built back up by
remove_migration_ptes().
