[ Upstream commit c3e58a70425ac6ddaae1529c8146e88b4f7252bb ]

Patch series "Leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations", v3.

This patch (of 2):

free_unref_page_list() has neglected to remove pages properly from the
list of pages to free since forever.  It works by coincidence because
list_add happened to do the right thing adding the pages to just the PCP
lists.  However, a later patch added pages to either the PCP list or the
zone list but only properly deleted the page from the list in one path
leading to list corruption and a subsequent failure.  As a preparation
patch, always delete the pages from one list properly before adding to
another.  On its own, this fixes nothing although it adds a fractional
amount of overhead but is critical to the next patch.
