list: Introduces generic list_splice_tail_init_rcu()

Browse source 
The list_splice_init_rcu() can be used as a stack onto which full lists
are pushed, but queue-like behavior is now needed by some security
policies.  This requires a list_splice_tail_init_rcu().

This commit therefore supplies a list_splice_tail_init_rcu() by
pulling code common it and to list_splice_init_rcu() into a new
__list_splice_init_rcu() function.  This new function is based on the
existing list_splice_init_rcu() implementation.

* If this sort of thing becomes necessary, an alternative version
* based on call_rcu() could be created. But only if -really-
* needed -- there is no shortage of RCU API members.
