[Alexander Aring]

Hi,

another possible solution which less of runtime decisions.

Don't know what I actually did there, just experiment that history_list
isn't a struct list. It has now space for the "char *line" pointer and
it's init with null. Also move the null check only for hlist_prev();

now list_entry on history_list works because it has a "char *line" which
should always be NULL.
