Sorry for noisy posts. I hope this should be the last trial.
Thank you for all helps.

At lumpy reclaim, a page failed to be taken by __isolate_lru_page() can
be pushed back to "src" list by list_move(). But the page may not be from
"src" list. This pushes the page back to wrong LRU.
And list_move() itself is unnecessary because the page is
not on top of LRU. Then, leave it as it is if __isolate_lru_page() fails.

Changelog: v1->v2
- removed buggy break.
