This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/swap.c:put_pages_list(): reinitialise the page list
While free_unref_page_list() puts pages onto the CPU local LRU list, it
does not remove them from the list they were passed in on. That makes the
list_head appear to be non-empty, and would lead to various corruption
problems if we didn't have an assertion that the list was empty.
Reinitialise the list after calling free_unref_page_list() to avoid this
problem.
