We use ->buf_pages != 0 to tell if this is a shared buffer ring or a classic provided buffer group. If we unregister the shared ring and then attempt to use it, buf_pages is zero yet the classic list head isn't properly initialized. This causes io_buffer_select() to think that we have classic buffers available, but then we crash when we try and get one from the list. Just initialize the list if we unregister a shared buffer ring, leaving it in a sane state for either re-registration or for attempting to use it.
