It seems that adding a helper function hlist_cut_position() can make the code
look more concise and clear. But there's a lot of patches now. We can do it
later, and maybe I can do it then.

Similar to the current list_cut_position():
/**
 * list_cut_position - cut a list into two
 * @list: a new list to add all removed entries
 * @head: a list with entries
 * @entry: an entry within head
