It'll just be part of the existing LRU locking in
pagevec_lru_move_fn(), when the new pages are added to the LRU in
batch. See this older patch for example:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20160606194836.3624-6-hannes@cmpxchg.org/

I didn't include it in this series to reduce conflict with Joonsoo's
WIP series that also operates in this area and does something similar:
