PATCH 3/4 plist: shrink struct plist_head

struct plist_head is big, and the field prio_list in the struct plist_head is used seldom. So it can be removed and we use the first plist_node's prio_list when needed.

The size of struct plist_head is decreased a half after shinked. The size of struct rtmutex and struct task_struct are also decreased after struct plist_head shrinked.

Hi, Ingo, Thomas, Steven,

Any comments about this patch?

Sorry, I've been trying to get a bunch done before the holiday break. I'll try to see if I can look at this today. I'll be pushing out your port of the rtmutex code today. Heh, I need to update it to your latest changes :-)

Anyway, after today, I'm off till Jan 3rd, so anything not done today will need to wait till then.

plist: Shrink struct plist_head

struct plist_head is used in struct task_struct as well as struct rtmutex. If we can make it smaller, it will also make these structures smaller as well.

The field prio_list in struct plist_head is seldom used and we can get its information from the plist_nodes. Removing this field will decrease the size of plist_head by half.
