In discussion to patch "selinux: reduce locking overhead in
inode_free_security()" it was figured out that list_del_init()
is safe to be called multiple times on the same entry. In that
case, it was useful to move a check out of spinlock to decrease
lock contention. Here we can remove '!list_empty()' check completely
and decrease 'spu_gang_remove_ctx()' function size, and (sometimes)
avoid branch predictor misses.
