Subject: fbdev/defio: Early-out if page is already enlisted
Git-commit: 105a940416fc622406653b6fe54732897642dfbc
Patch-mainline: v5.18-rc1
References: jsc#PED-1166 jsc#PED-1168 jsc#PED-1170 jsc#PED-1218 jsc#PED-1220 jsc#PED-1222 jsc#PED-1223 jsc#PED-1225

Return early if a page is already in the list of dirty pages for
deferred I/O. This can be detected if the page's list head is not
empty. Keep the list head initialized while the page is not enlisted
to make this work reliably.

v2:
	* update comment and fix spelling (Sam)
