Move list types from <linux/list.h> to <linux/types.h>.

This allows a list_head (or hlist_head, etc.) to be used from places
that used to be impractical, in particular <asm/processor.h>, which
used to cause include file recursion: <linux/list.h> includes
<linux/prefetch.h>, which always includes <asm/processor.h> for the
prefetch macros, as well as <asm/system.h>, which often includes
<asm/processor.h> directly or indirectly.

This avoids a lot of painful workaround hackery on the tile
architecture, where we use a list_head in the thread_struct to chain
together tasks that are activated on a particular hardwall.
