Subject: [PATCH]: find_lock_page(): call __lock_page() directly.

Hello,

as find_lock_page() already checks with TestSetPageLocked() that page is
locked, there is no need to call lock_page() that will try-lock page
again (chances of page being unlocked in between are small). Call
__lock_page() directly, this saves one atomic operation.

Also, mark truncate-while-slept path as unlikely while we are here.

Andrew, please apply.

Nikita.
