[patch 7/19] mark_buffer_dirty_inode() speedup

[Andrew Morton]

buffer_insert_list() is showing up on Anton's graphs.  It'll be via
ext2's mark_buffer_dirty_inode() against indirect blocks.  If the
buffer is already on an inode queue, we know that it is on the correct
inode's queue so we don't need to re-add it.
