Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm: use add_page_to_lru_list()/page_lru()/page_off_lru()

This is a trivial but worth having clean-up patch. There should be
no side effects except page->lru is temporarily poisoned after it's
deleted but before it's added to the new list in move_pages_to_lru()
(which is not a problem).

[ I was under false impression that page_off_lru() clears PG_lru;
  Alex Shi <alex.shi@...ux.alibaba.com> pointed that out. So in v2,
  we keep __ClearPageLRU(). ]
