[PATCH] pktgen: fix module unload for good

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> commit c57b5468406 (pktgen: fix crash at module unload) did a very poor job with list primitives. 1) list_splice() arguments were in the wrong order 2) list_splice(list, head) has undefined behavior if head is not initialized. 3) We should use the list_splice_init() variant to clear pktgen_threads list.
