llvmpipe: fix wierd performance regression in isosurf

I really don't understand the mechanism behind this, but it
seems like the way data blocks for a scene are malloced, and in
particular whether we treat them as stack or a queue, and whether
we retain the most recently allocated or least recently allocated
has a real affect (~5%) on isosurf framerates...

This is probably specific to my distro or even just my machine,
but none the less, it's nicer not to see the framerates go in the
wrong direction.
