[patch] fs: inode: fix icache pruning locked inode spin protection

[Johannes Weiner]

Inodes are added to the head of the superblock LRU list and reclaimed
from the tail.  If trylocking an inode during reclaim fails, it has to
be moved to the head of the list, not the tail, to prevent spinning on
it.
