3.16.60-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra peterz@infradead.org
commit 5b9e886a4af97574ca3ce1147f35545da0e7afc7 upstream.
A number of places relies on list_empty(&cs->wd_list), however the list_head does not get initialized. Do so upon registration, such that thereafter it is possible to rely on list_empty() correctly reflecting the list membership status.
