fs/buffer.c: make bh_lru_install() more efficient

To install a buffer_head into the cpu's LRU queue, bh_lru_install()
would construct a new copy of the queue and then memcpy it over the real
queue.  But it's easily possible to do the update in-place, which is
faster and simpler.  Some work can also be skipped if the buffer_head
was already in the queue.

As a microbenchmark I timed how long it takes to run sb_getblk()
10,000,000 times alternating between BH_LRU_SIZE + 1 blocks.
Effectively, this benchmarks looking up buffer_heads that are in the
page cache but not in the LRU:

	Before this patch: 1.758s
	After this patch: 1.653s

This patch also removes about 350 bytes of compiled code (on x86_64),
partly due to removal of the memcpy() which was being inlined+unrolled.
