[PATCH v2] fbdev: defio: fix the pagelist corruption

Easily hit the below list corruption:
==
list_add corruption. prev->next should be next (ffffffffc0ceb090), but
was ffffec604507edc8. (prev=ffffec604507edc8).

Figure out the race happens when one process is adding &page->lru into
the pagelist tail in fb_deferred_io_mkwrite(), another process is
re-initializing the same &page->lru in fb_deferred_io_fault(), which is
not protected by the lock.

This fix is to init all the page lists one time during initialization,
it not only fixes the list corruption, but also avoids INIT_LIST_HEAD()
redundantly.

V2: change "int i" to "unsigned int i" (Geert Uytterhoeven)

enlisted")

Thanks a lot. I added to patch to drm-misc-next.
