for example, max_seq=4(GEN=0) and max_seq-1=3, then we are supposed to put
max_seq in the head of active list. but your code seems to be putting max_seq-1
after putting max_seq, then max_seq is more likely to be evicted
afterwards as it
is in the tail of the active list.
anyway, it might not be so important. I can't imagine we will
frequently switch mglru
with lru dynamically. will we?
