Remove macro list_for_each_reverse due to below reasons:

• it is same as list_for_each_prev.
• it is not used by current kernel tree.

Fixes: 8bf0cdfac7f8 ("<linux/list.h>: Introduce the list_for_each_reverse() method")

Why is this a "Fix:"?

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Why is this for stable? What does this fix? Just removing code that no one uses doesn't need to be backported, it's just dead, delete it.

thanks,
