Knobs: Modify the behaviour of the Mlock knob.

Browse Source 
The Mlock knob is unfortunately tied to realtime.
Allow Mlock knob to implicitly enable realtime to get the
desired swapping behavior when swapping is desired.

Note: Realtime as implemented today can only be used to enable
swap, and as such does not really control realtime behaviour.
The knob is redundant but retained here just to ensure that
when more capabilities are added in future QEMU iterations
we can take advantage of the same.
