If there is unfinished work, the loop below will only iterate
over remaining elements, but it will not process elements that
were processed last time. But we're not setting 'must_wake_up'.
Doesn't look right.
Anyway, I don't understand why we need two different ways of
iteration for remotes and for sessions. Why can't we maintain
this worklist adding and removing elements along with shahs
and re-ordering in a same way as you did for sessions?
This will save us some wakeups and make code more uniform.

Please, keep the original indentation.

Please, use accessors instad, i.e. ovs_list_back().
Same for code below.

This comment talks about processing, but this function seems
to be more generic, so it should be re-worded to be more generic.
It may even be moved to list.c with appropriate re-naming,
a good comment about what it does and some unit tests.

Should we call this function 'rotate' insted of 'fast_forward' ?
