Subject: [PATCH v3 next] mm/vmscan: __isolate_lru_page_prepare clean up

The function just return 2 results, so use a 'switch' to deal with its
result is unnecessary, and simplify it to a bool func as Vlastimil
suggested.

Also remove 'goto' by reusing list_move(), and take Matthew Wilcox's
suggestion to update comments in function.

I wouldn't mind if the goto stayed, but it's not repeating that much without it (list_move() + continue, 3 times) so...
