A use-after-free bug was found in the previous custom lock-free list
implementation for the deferred work, so switch functionality to llist
implementation.
While the previous approach atomically handled the list head, it did not
assure the new node's next pointer was assigned before the head was
pointed to the node, allowing the consumer to traverse to an invalid
next pointer.
Additionally, in switching to llists, this patch pulls the entire list
off the list head once and processes it separately, reducing the number
of atomic operations compared with the custom lists's implementation
which pulled one node at a time atomically from the list head.
