[RFC PATCH 4/6] lib/plist: Provide plist_add_head() for nodes with the same prio

[Xunlei Pang]

From: Xunlei Pang <pang.xunlei@xxxxxxxxxx>

If there're multiple nodes with the same prio as @node, currently
plist_add() will add @node behind all of them. Now we need to add
@node before all of these nodes for SMP RT scheduler.

This patch adds a common __plist_add() for adding @node before or
after existing nodes with the same prio, then adds plist_add_head()
and plist_add_tail() inline wrapper functions for convenient uses.

Finally, change plist_add() to an inline wrapper using plist_add_tail()
which has the same behaviour as before.
