[PATCH 2/2] list: use list_replace_init() instead of list_splice_init()

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>]

list_splice_init(list, head) does unneeded job if it is known that
list_empty(head) == 1. We can use list_replace_init() instead.

[ I did list_replace() for use in kernel/timer.c. I am not sure it
  is ok to patch random files at once, but it looks so simple ... ].
