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
