[PATCH] splice: fix page stealing LRU handling.



Originally from Nick Piggin, just adapted to the newer branch.

You can't check PageLRU without holding zone->lru_lock.  The page
release code can get away with it only because the page refcount is 0 at
that point. Also, you can't reliably remove pages from the LRU unless
the refcount is 0. Ever.
