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.
