What my current thinking is to make llist works with both NULL and sentinel

version will have to use special sentinel version of LLIST_HEAD() macro and
llist_del_all() and __llist_del_all() functions. In this way, I don't need
to touch an existing users of llist while minimizing code redundancy. What
do you think?
Wouldn't that be more error-prone in the long term? I'd just bite the bullet
and convert the empty tests. It is a hassle to find them but given that it's
just the head node testing, it hopefully wouldn't be too bad.
OK, I will take a further look at what changes will be needed by the
existing llist users.
Thanks,
