This patch converts the notifier interface from a single linked list to
using the standard kernel doubly-linked list interface. The parameters
to notifier_chain_register/unregister changed from being
pointer-to-pointer to notifier_block to pointer list_head.
There is no change in functionality of notifiers, it just makes changing
to RCU easier.
