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.
