cifs: use add_to_page_cache_lru

add_to_page_cache_lru is exported, so it should be used. Benefits over
using a private pagevec: neater code, 128 bytes fewer stack used, percpu
lru ordering is preserved, and finally don't need to flush pagevec
before returning so batching may be shared with other LRU insertions.

It should positively affect LRU ordering, and CPU efficiency, but both
such a tiny amount it should be in the noise. It wouldn't affect IO
patterns (except as a side effect of slightly different pagecache
reclaim, but again in the noise).

I wouldn't worry about benchmarking it.
