commit 66edc3a5894c74f8887c8af23b97593a0dd0df4d upstream.
Syzbot reported a bad page state problem caused by a page being freed using free_page() still having a mlocked flag at free_pages_prepare() stage:

The problem was originally introduced by commit b109b87050df ("mm/munlock: replace clear_page_mlock() by final clearance"): it was focused on handling pagecache and anonymous memory and wasn't suitable for lower level get_page()/free_page() API's used for example by KVM, as with this reproducer.
Fix it by moving the mlocked flag clearance down to free_page_prepare().
The bug itself if fairly old and harmless (aside from generating these warnings), aside from a small memory leak - "bad" pages are stopped from being allocated again.
