I *think* you're correct, but it took time to wrap my head around.
We basically rely on try_to_munlock() never caller for PTE-mapped THP.
And we don't at the moment.

It worth adding something like

	VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageCompound(page) && PageDoubleMap(page), page);

into try_to_munlock().

Otherwise looks good to me.

Will free adding my Acked-by once this nit is addressed.
