Subject: [PATCH 01/13] mm: use add_page_to_lru_list()

This patch replaces the only open-coded lru list addition with
add_page_to_lru_list().

Before this patch, we have:
	update_lru_size()
	list_move()

After this patch, we have:
	list_del()
	add_page_to_lru_list()
		update_lru_size()
		list_add()

The only side effect is that page->lru is temporarily poisoned
after a page is deleted from its old list, which shouldn't be a
problem.
