Implement LIST_PREV().
Regular LISTs have been implemented in such a way that the prev-pointer
does not point to the previous element, but to the next-pointer stored
in the previous element. This is done to simplify LIST_REMOVE(). This
macro can be implemented without knowing the address of the list head.
Unfortunately this makes it harder to implement LIST_PREV(), which is
why this macro was never here. Still, it is possible to implement this
macro. If the prev-pointer points to the list head, we return NULL.
Otherwise we simply subtract the offset of the prev-pointer within the
structure.
It's not as efficient as traversing forward of course, but in practice
it shouldn't be that bad. In almost all use cases, people will want to
compare the value returned by LIST_PREV() against NULL, so an optimizing
compiler will not emit code that does more branching than TAILQs.
While there, make the code a bit more readable by introducing
__member2struct(). This makes STAILQ_LAST() far more readable.
