Subject: Re: [patch 11/20] hlist: Add hlist_is_last_node() helper

Shouldn't this function be called hlist_is_only_node()?

hlist_is_last_node would be simply !n->next, as "last" doesn't
imply the lack of others.

I understand how the name might make sense in the context of removing
entries from the list, but in other contexts, it's confusing.
