Subject: [PATCH v20 05/20] mm/thp: Simplify lru_add_page_tail()

Simplify lru_add_page_tail(), there are actually only two cases possible:
split_huge_page_to_list(), with list supplied and head isolated from lru
by its caller; or split_huge_page(), with NULL list and head on lru -
because when head is racily isolated from lru, the isolator's reference
will stop the split from getting any further than its page_ref_freeze().

So decide between the two cases by "list", but add VM_WARN_ON()s to
verify that they match our lru expectations.
