[PATCH] clear_child_for_cleanup must correctly manage children_to_clean

[David Gould]

Iterate through children_to_clean using 'next' fields but with an
extra level of indirection. This allows us to update the chain when
we remove a child and saves us managing several variables around
the loop mechanism.
