[PATCH 3/5] Kill unnecessary prefetch

[KOSAKI Motohiro]

Subject: Kill unnecessary prefetch

The pages in the list passed move_active_pages_to_lru() are
already touched by shrink_active_list(). IOW the prefetch in
move_active_pages_to_lru() don't populate any cache. it's pointless.

This patch remove it.
