Is it profitable to do ...

-		del_page_from_lru_list(page, lruvec, page_lru(page));
+		enum lru_list lru = page_lru(page);
+		del_page_from_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru);
		ClearPageActive(page);
-		add_page_to_lru_list_tail(page, lruvec, page_lru(page));
+		lru &= ~LRU_ACTIVE;
+		add_page_to_lru_list_tail(page, lruvec, lru);
