mm: skip mlocked THPs that are underused early in deferred_split_scan()

When we stumble over a fully-mapped mlocked THP in the deferred shrinker,
it does not make sense to try to detect whether it is underused, because
try_to_map_unused_to_zeropage(), called while splitting the folio, will
not actually replace any zeroed pages by the shared zeropage.

Splitting the folio in that case does not make any sense, so let's not
even scan to check if the folio is underused.
