What I mean is that only the people doing list_for_each and
hlist_for_each don't know how to do it right.  I just tested this over
night and my assumptions were correct.  Here are all the lines that
generate a warning:

+               hlist_for_each_entry_safe(tmp_fil, n, head, fnode)
+static void list_test_list_for_each_prev(struct kunit *test)
+static void list_test_list_for_each_safe(struct kunit *test)
+static void list_test_list_for_each_prev_safe(struct kunit *test)
+static void list_test_list_for_each_entry(struct kunit *test)
+static void list_test_list_for_each_entry_reverse(struct kunit *test)
+       hlist_for_each_entry_safe(x6spi, n,
+       list_for_each_entry(w, &card->widgets, list)

Only the first and last warnings are real style problems and my patch
catches both.
