You can initialize using 2 ways:
LIST_HEAD_INIT() and LIST_HEAD()
The first one initialize the pointers of a struct list_head
and the second one will create a struct and then initialize.
To add or remove elements you can use list_add() and list_del().
Which element will have struct list_head inside, so if you
have the list_head pointer, you can use list_entry() to get
the pointer to element and to iterate over the list use
list_for_each().
