Revert "lib/plist.c: enforce memory ordering in plist_check_list"

This reverts commit 7abcb84f953df037d40fad66f2109db318dd155b.

The introduction of WRITE_ONCE() calls for the 'prev' and 'next' variables
inside plist_check_list() was a misapplication.  WRITE_ONCE() is
fundamentally a compiler barrier designed to prevent compiler
optimizations (like caching or reordering) on shared memory locations. 
However, the variables 'prev' and 'next' are local, stack-allocated
pointers accessed only by the current thread's invocation of the function.

Since these pointers are thread-local and are never accessed concurrently,
applying WRITE_ONCE() to them is semantically incorrect and unnecessary. 
Furthermore, the use of WRITE_ONCE() on local variables prevents the
compiler from performing standard optimizations, such as keeping these
variables cached solely in CPU registers throughout the loop, potentially
introducing performance overhead.  Restore the conventional C assignment
for local loop variables, allowing the compiler to generate optimal code.
