I don't see what is the goal of the above code.  The list_head variable is
not going to be in a statement by itself.  There is also no need to check
for l being NULL.  If it is NULL, the original code is incorrect too.

Here you don't need the outer ( ).  This makes a disjunction with only
one choice.  Since there is only one choice, you don't need the
disjunction.
