llist: Return whether list is empty before adding in llist_add()

Extend the llist_add*() functions to return a success indicator, this
allows us in the scheduler code to send an IPI if the queue was empty.

( There's no effect on existing users, because the list_add_xxx() functions
  are inline, thus this will be optimized out by the compiler if not used
  by callers. )
