list_empty(something) and list_empty(something->prev) are equivalent for
well-formed lists.
list_empty(src) check in isolate_lru_pages() is for pathological case
when active list becomes empty. Also active and inactive lists are not
LRU, they are closer to second-chance-FIFO, it is _together_ that they
emulate LRU.
