I agree with Namhyung in here.. seems like the only thing you
added is to check if the field_fmt was also linked in as a sort
entry before you call list_del_init on it

which I think should be also done with list_empty function, but
more importantly I dont see a reason for that.. list_del_init
call should be fine on empty list

please describe the issue in more details, perhaps we'ew missing
something
