This minimizes the time during which the `write_lock' is held: by using a
temporary list_head and re-adjusting the pointers of the old list accordingly.
The clean-up operation can then safely be done outside the lock, since the
newly created list is then `homeless'.

 1. For dccp_tx_hist_purge, this is conveniently done by using 
list_replace_init,

 2. the case for dccp_tx_hist_purge_older is analogous and, in the absence of a
    matching library function, done manually;

 3. the `dangerous' function dccp_tx_hist_purge_older has been removed by
    merging its functionality into dccp_tx_hist_get_send_time.
