'klist_test_struct' has been unused since the original
commit 57b4f760f94d ("list: test: Test the klist structure").
Probably a fixes by tag would be needed here.

I'm generally avoiding fixes tags in this set of changes, since
a) They have no behavioural change at all.
b) Downstream and stable kernel people use fixes tags to indicate
stuff they should pick up if they have the original, and there's
no need for them to do that with this cleanup.

+1 on using careful use of Fixes tag only on real fixes for the
reasons mentioned above.
