As mentioned earlier I don't think moving the initialization from one
random point in the middle of the lifetime of the command to another
is a good idea.  If we initialize it it should be when it is allocated.

But looking at the code I can't see why it needs to be initialized at
all.  eh_entry is not used as the head of a list but just as the list
link, and it's never tested for emptyness either, which shouldn't
require it to be initialized at all.
