Current kernel only lock base size folio during mlock syscall.
Add large folio support with following rules:
- Only mlock large folio when it's in VM_LOCKED VMA range
and fully mapped to page table.
fully mapped folio is required as if folio is not fully
mapped to a VM_LOCKED VMA, if system is in memory pressure,
page reclaim is allowed to pick up this folio, split it
and reclaim the pages which are not in VM_LOCKED VMA.
- munlock will apply to the large folio which is in VMA range
or cross the VMA boundary.
This is required to handle the case that the large folio is
mlocked, later the VMA is split in the middle of large folio.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
