Subject: dired-auto-revert-buffer jumps point to beginning of buffer

Tested on git master, the bug is not present on 25.

Recipe from emacs -Q:

(setq dired-auto-revert-buffer t)

open dired, open a folder, C-x b back to the previous dired buffer, open
the same folder again, see point jump back to the beginning of buffer.

I'm not sure why, since dired-auto-revert-buffer just seems to call
revert-buffer, which does not jump point.
