Let's take a look at the original code:
> list1 = is_swap ? &pos->last->swap : &pos->last->lru;
> list2 = is_swap ? pos->first->swap.prev : pos->first->lru.prev;
>

As far as I can see the problem is that the first list_cur_position 
could modify the value of pos->first->lru.prev and so make the second 
list_cut_position work on the wrong position.

Regards,
Christian.
