I don't think this will work because hlist_unhashed() checks for node->pprev 
being NULL or not. hlist_del_rcu() sets node->pprev to LIST_POISON2.

We could also use BUG_ON() for readability. Something like:

BUG_ON(node->pprev == LIST_POISON2);

Though there are not many code sections working with LIST_POISON2 outside the 
list handling code.

Cheers,
Marek
