My recent change to put_pages_list() dereferences folio->lru.next after
returning the folio to the page allocator.  Usually this is now on the
pcp list with other free folios, so we try to free an already-free
folio.  This only happens with lists that have more than 15 entries, so
it wasn't immediately discovered.  Revert to using list_for_each_safe()
so we dereference lru.next before disposing of the folio.

Reported-by: "Borah, Chaitanya Kumar" <chaitanya.kumar.borah@intel.com>
Fixes: 24835f899c01 (mm: use free_unref_folios() in put_pages_list())

I'm unable to find the bug report on linux-mm.  Help please?
