Regrettably this interferes with anti-fragmentation because the "next" page

that should not be necessary and it's visible in microbenchmark results on
at least one machine.
Is this patch to be preferred to the one Andrew Morton posted to do
list_for_each_entry_reverse?
..
This patch replaces my earlier patch that Andrew has:
- list_add(&page->lru, list);
+ list_add_tail(&page->lru, list);
Which, in turn, replaced the even-earlier list_for_each_entry_reverse patch.
