Phil Carmody 8d2587970b cgroups: if you list_empty() a head then don't list_del() it
list_del() leaves poison in the prev and next pointers.  The next
list_empty() will compare those poisons, and say the list isn't empty.
Any list operations that assume the node is on a list because of such a
check will be fooled into dereferencing poison.  One needs to INIT the
node after the del, and fortunately there's already a wrapper for that -
list_del_init().

Some of the dels are followed by deallocations, so can be ignored, and one
can be merged with an add to make a move.  Apart from that, I erred on the
side of caution in making nodes list_empty()-queriable.
