[PATCH net-next] ionic: Change list definition method

[Lei Zhu]

From: Lei Zhu <zhulei@kylinos.cn>

The LIST_HEAD macro can both define a linked list and initialize
it in one step. To simplify code, we replace the separate operations
of linked list definition and manual initialization with the LIST_HEAD
macro.

## Form letter - net-next-closed

We have already submitted our pull request with net-next material for v7.2,
and therefore net-next is closed for new drivers, features, code refactoring
and optimizations. We are currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after June 29th.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.

See: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/process/maintainer-netdev.html#development-cycle
