Subject: [PATCH v5 1/8] mm/vmscan: remove unnecessary lruvec adding

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,);
    else
        list_add(&page->lru,) //corrupt
