Correct initialization of the cache doubly-linked listsyslinux-4.06-pre11
The initialization of the cache doubly-linked list had head->next->prev instead of head->prev->next; this entry is supposed to initialize the ->next entry of the last entry in the list (which points back to the head node.) For clarity, consistently use "head" to refer to the head node; the mixing of "head" and "dev->cache_head" needlessly obfuscated the code. The wild pointer reference caused crashes on some systems.
