Subject: llist: llist_add() can use llist_add_batch()
llist_add(new, head) can simply use llist_add_batch(new, new, head),
no need to duplicate the code.
This obviously uninlines llist_add() and to me this is a win. But we
can make llist_add_batch() inline if this is desirable, in this case
gcc can notice that new_first == new_last if the caller is llist_add().
