list: kill list_force_poison()

Browse source 
Given we have uninitialized list_heads being passed to list_add() it
will always be the case that those uninitialized values randomly trigger
the poison value.  Especially since a list_add() operation will seed the
stack with the poison value for later stack allocations to trip over.

For example, see these two false positive reports:
