Ondrej Zajicek b933281ed5 Fixes nasty bug in event processing.
WALK_LIST_DELSAFE (in ev_run_list) is not safe with regard
to deletion of next node. When some events are rescheduled
during event execution, it may lead to deletion of next
node and some events are skipped. Such skipped nodes remain
in temporary list on stack and the last of them contains
'next' pointer to stack area. When this event is later
scheduled, it damages stack area trying to remove it from
the list, which leads to random crashes with funny
backtraces :-) .

/**
* DOC: Events
*
* Events are there to keep track of deferred execution.
* Since BIRD is single-threaded, it requires long lasting tasks to be split to smaller
* parts, so that no module can monopolize the CPU. To split such a task, just create
* an &event resource, point it to the function you want to have called and call ev_schedule()
* to ask the core to run the event when nothing more important requires attention.
*
* You can also define your own event lists (the &event_list structure), enqueue your
* events in them and explicitly ask to run them.
