rust: list: Use "List::is_empty()" to perform checking when possible

"List::is_empty()" provides a straight forward convention to check
whether a given "List" is empty or not. There're numerous places in the
current implementation still use "self.first.is_null()" to perform the
equivalent check, replace them with "List::is_empty()".
