Wrong default order for pages list table in 4.4

Description

Default order of pages list table in 4.4 is "date". I've investigated source and found that this is caused by function wp_edit_posts_query():

if ( isset( $q['orderby'] ) ) {
		$orderby = $q['orderby'];
	} elseif ( isset( $q['post_status'] ) && in_array( $q['post_status'], array( 'pending', 'draft' ) ) ) {
		$orderby = 'modified';
	} else {
		$orderby = 'date';
	}
}

else statement is causing this problem:

else {
	$orderby = 'date';
}

it wasn't present in 4.3.
