[PATCH] swap-prefetch, fix lru_cache_add_tail()

[Peter Zijlstra]

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>

lru_cache_add_tail() uses the inactive per-cpu pagevec. This causes
normal inactive and intactive tail inserts to end up on the wrong end
of the list.

When the pagevec is completed by lru_cache_add_tail() but still contains
normal inactive pages, all pages will be added to the inactive tail and
vice versa.

Also *add_drain*() will always complete to the inactive head.

Add a third per-cpu pagevec to alleviate this problem.
