Subject: [PATCH next] mm/swap.c: reduce lock contention in lru_cache_add

The current relock logical will change lru_lock when found a new
lruvec, so if 2 memcgs are reading file or alloc page at same time,
they could hold the lru_lock alternately, and wait for each other for
fairness attribute of ticket spin lock.

This patch will sort that all lru_locks and only hold them once in
above scenario. That could reduce fairness waiting for lock reget.
Than, vm-scalability/case-lru-file-readtwice could get ~5% performance
gain on my 2P*20core*HT machine.
