Per the code, -r(LIST_HEAD_REVERSE) only work with LIST_HEAD_FORMAT
which is set by -H or -h.

Previously, if LIST_HEAD_FORMAT was not set, `list -r` will traverse the
list in order, that doesn't obey the -r(reverse) semantics.

Add a further check to ensure -r is used in conjunction with -H or -h.
