Hi Alex, I just realized your
  [v18,08/32] mm/vmscan: remove unnecessary lruvec adding
at
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11733123/
also touches move_pages_to_lru(). I agree it's better not to add
a page we are going to free to the list in the first place. The
rest in this patch would be too trivial to be a separate one (on
top of yours).

So would you mind taking of the clean-up too in your series? I'll
drop this one then. Thanks.
