[S390] vt220 console, initialize list head before use
This patch fixes a null pointer dereference during initialisation when no
sclp event facility is available:
sclp vt220 tty driver: could not register vt220 - sclp_register returned -5
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual user address 0000000000000000

The issue is caused by a list_empty() check in __sclp_vt220_cleanup, which
usually fails on non-initialized list heads that contain {NULL,NULL} instead.
