Replace the use of llist with list.

llist_for_each_entry_safe can trigger a bug in GCC 4.1, so it's best
to remove it and use a doubly linked list, which is used extensively
in the kernel already.

Specifically this bug can be triggered by hot-unplugging a disk,
either by doing xm block-detach or by save/restore cycle.

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0

When drilling down to the assembler code, on newer GCC it does
.L29:
        cmpq    $-16, %r12      #, persistent_gnt check
        je      .L30            #, out of the loop
.L25:
        ... code in the loop
        testq   %r13, %r13      # n
        je      .L29            #, back to the top of the loop
        cmpq    $-16, %r12      #, persistent_gnt check
        movq    16(%r12), %r13  # <variable>.node.next, n
        jne     .L25            #,      back to the top of the loop
.L30:

While on GCC 4.1, it is:
L78:
        ... code in the loop
        testq   %r13, %r13      # n
        je      .L78    #,      back to the top of the loop
        movq    16(%rbx), %r13  # <variable>.node.next, n
        jmp     .L78    #,      back to the top of the loop

Which basically means that the exit loop condition instead of
being:

        &(pos)->member != NULL;

is:
        ;

which makes the loop unbound.

Since we always manipulate the list while holding the io_lock, there's
no need for additional locking (llist used previously is safe to use
concurrently without additional locking).

Should be backported to 3.8 stable.
