Wait a moment.

So now we have a putback_lru_page, which does adjust
the statistics, and an lru_cache_putback which does
not?

This function could use a name that is not as similar
to its counterpart :)

lru_cache_add() and lru_cache_putback() are the two sibling functions,
where the first influences the LRU balance and the second one doesn't.

The last hunk in the patch (obscured by showing the label instead of
the function name as context) updates putback_lru_page() from using
lru_cache_add() to using lru_cache_putback().

Does that make sense?
