[PATCH 2/4] plist: add helper functions

[Dan Streetman]

Add PLIST_HEAD() to plist.h, equivalent to LIST_HEAD() from list.h, to
define and initialize a struct plist_head.

Add plist_for_each_continue() and plist_for_each_entry_continue(),
equivalent to list_for_each_continue() and list_for_each_entry_continue(),
to iterate over a plist continuing after the current position.

Add plist_prev() and plist_next(), equivalent to (struct list_head*)->prev
and ->next, implemented by list_prev_entry() and list_next_entry(), to
access the prev/next struct plist_node entry.  These are needed because
unlike struct list_head, direct access of the prev/next struct plist_node
isn't possible; the list must be navigated via the contained struct list_head.
e.g. instead of accessing the prev by list_prev_entry(node, node_list)
it can be accessed by plist_prev(node).

This is new to this patch set, and these helper functions are used
by the following 2 patches.  They aren't critical, as their functionality
can be achieved using regular list functions, but they help simplify
code that uses them.
