[RFC PATCH 02/11] mm: Adjust shuffle code to allow for future coalescing

[Alexander Duyck <alexander.duyck@gmail.com>]

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@linux.intel.com>

This patch is meant to move the head/tail adding logic out of the shuffle
code and into the __free_one_page function since ultimately that is where
it is really needed anyway. By doing this we should be able to reduce the
overhead and can consolidate all of the list addition bits in one spot.
