Ensure list tail pointer is updated when we remove tail node
Commit 2ee90ddae23dd86c68223c0d6c49f0b92d62429d did a special check to see if we were removing the head node, but not the tail node. Add a special case for the tail node to ensure all relevant pointers get updated. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
