I don't see why a rename is necessary. People implement stacks and queues
and all other kinds of data structures using the standard list.h.
No reason why this shouldn't work with llist.h either.

I would assume everyone hacking on the Linux kernel will understand
that a list can be used as a building block for all of these.
