[PATCH v8 01/10] mm/vmscan: remove unnecessary lruvec adding

[Alex Shi <alex.shi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We don't have to add a freeable page into lru and then remove from it.
This change saves a couple of actions and makes the moving more clear.

The SetPageLRU needs to be kept here for list intergrity.
Otherwise:
 #0 mave_pages_to_lru              #1 release_pages
                                   if (put_page_testzero())
 if !put_page_testzero
                                     !PageLRU //skip lru_lock
                                       list_add(&page->lru,);
   list_add(&page->lru,) //corrupt
