Insert extensions into pending lists in ordered fashion: Group by
extension name (and, for matches, family) and order groups by descending
revision number.
This allows to simplify the later full registration considerably. Since
that involves kernel compatibility checks, the extra cycles here pay off
eventually.

Changes since v1:
- Fix wrong insertion order for arrays with ascending revision: If
pending extension list was empty, new lowest revision items were
always inserted first.
- Add some comments explaining the algorithm.
