Why not do the __isolate_lru_page_prepare before getting the page?
That way you can avoid performing an extra atomic operation on non-LRU
pages.

I wonder if it wouldn't make sense to combine these two atomic ops
with tests and the put_page into a single inline function? Then it
could be possible to just do one check and if succeeds you do the
block of code below, otherwise you just fall-through into the -EBUSY
case.
