Subject: lib: Introduce generic list_sort function

There are two copies of list_sort() in the tree already, one in the DRM
code, another in ubifs.  Now XFS needs this as well.  Create a generic
list_sort() function from the ubifs version and convert existing users
to it so we don't end up with yet another copy in the tree.

+ * list_sort - sort a list.
+ * @priv: private data, passed to @cmp
+ * @head: the list to sort
+ * @cmp: the elements comparison function
+ *
+ * This function has been implemented by Mark J Roberts <mjr@znex.org>. It
+ * implements "merge sort" which has O(nlog(n)) complexity. The list is sorted
+ * in ascending order.
+ *
+ * The comparison function @cmp is supposed to return a negative value if @a is
+ * less than @b, and a positive value if @a is greater than @b. If @a and @b
+ * are equivalent, then it does not matter what this function returns.
