So looking at this I realize that patch 18 probably should have
ordered this the same way with the TestClearPageLRU happening before
you fetched the new_lruvec. Otherwise I think you are potentially
exposed to the original issue you were fixing the the previous patch
that added the call to TestClearPageLRU.

So this doesn't really read right. I suppose "pre_lruvec" should
probably be "prev_lruvec" since I assume you mean "previous" not
"before".
