This patch eliminates duplicate code.  The remove_block_head function
is a special case of remove_block which can be contained in remove_block
without confusion.

The portion of code in remove_block_head which was noted as "DEBUG ONLY"
is now mandatory.  Doing this provides consistent management of the double
linked list of blocks under a freelist and makes this consolidation
of delete block code safe.  The first and last blocks will have NULL
pointers in their previous and next page pointers respectively.

Additionally, any time a block is removed from a free list the next and
previous pointers will be set to NULL to avoid misuse outside xvmalloc.
