Subject: [PATCH] kvm: mmu: move the added page that exists in current lru list to its tail

From: jevon jiang <jiangjianwen@...ontech.com>

If the added page existing in current lru list, it's better to move that
page to the end of that list. This modification can prolong the lifecycle
of activated page and decrease I/O requirements while memory is limited.
