LIST_HEAD as a local variable is a C99ism.

Address of a variable whose storage duration is `auto` is _not_ a
compile time constant, according to ISO 9899 section 6.4.
LIST_HEAD takes such thing.  You can't use it to declare local
variables.

Interestingly, address of a static variable _is_ a compile time
constant.  So a declaration like `static LIST_HEAD..` is
completely legal even in C90.

In C99 and newer, this is not a constraint violation.
