mm/thp: narrow lru locking

lru_lock and page cache xa_lock have no obvious reason to be taken one
way round or the other: until now, lru_lock has been taken before page
cache xa_lock, when splitting a THP; but nothing else takes them
together.  Reverse that ordering: let's narrow the lru locking - but
leave local_irq_disable to block interrupts throughout, like before.

Hugh Dickins point: split_huge_page_to_list() was already silly, to be
using the _irqsave variant: it's just been taking sleeping locks, so
would already be broken if entered with interrupts enabled.  So we can
save passing flags argument down to __split_huge_page().

Why change the lock ordering here? That was hard to decide.  One reason:
when this series reaches per-memcg lru locking, it relies on the THP's
memcg to be stable when taking the lru_lock: that is now done after the
THP's refcount has been frozen, which ensures page memcg cannot change.

Another reason: previously, lock_page_memcg()'s move_lock was presumed
to nest inside lru_lock; but now lru_lock must nest inside (page cache
lock inside) move_lock, so it becomes possible to use lock_page_memcg()
to stabilize page memcg before taking its lru_lock.  That is not the
mechanism used in this series, but it is an option we want to keep open.
