Mel Gorman 6fb81a17d2 mm: do not use unnecessary atomic operations when adding pages to the LRU 
When adding pages to the LRU we clear the active bit unconditionally.
As the page could be reachable from other paths we cannot use unlocked
operations without risk of corruption such as a parallel
mark_page_accessed.  This patch tests if is necessary to clear the
active flag before using an atomic operation.  This potentially opens a
tiny race when PageActive is checked as mark_page_accessed could be
called after PageActive was checked.  The race already exists but this
patch changes it slightly.  The consequence is that that the page may be
promoted to the active list that might have been left on the inactive
list before the patch.  It's too tiny a race and too marginal a
consequence to always use atomic operations for.
