mm: fix list corruption in put_pages_list 

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.
