vfs: Revert spurious fix to spinning prevention in prune_icache_sb
commit 5b55d708 upstream. Revert commit 62a3ddef ("vfs: fix spinning prevention in prune_icache_sb"). This commit doesn't look right: since we are looking at the tail of the list (sb->s_inode_lru.prev) if we want to skip an inode, we should put it back at the head of the list instead of the tail, otherwise we will keep spinning on it. Discovered when investigating why prune_icache_sb came top in perf reports of a swapping load. Signed-off-by:Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Signed-off-by:
