[ 15/40] rculist: list_first_or_null_rcu() should use list_entry_rcu()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

commit c34ac00caefbe49d40058ae7200bd58725cebb45 upstream.

list_first_or_null() should test whether the list is empty and return
pointer to the first entry if not in a RCU safe manner.  It's broken
in several ways.

* It compares __kernel @__ptr with __rcu @__next triggering the
  following sparse warning.

  net/core/dev.c:4331:17: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)

* It doesn't perform rcu_dereference*() and computes the entry address
  using container_of() directly from the __rcu pointer which is
  inconsitent with other rculist interface.  As a result, all three
  in-kernel users - net/core/dev.c, macvlan, cgroup - are buggy.  They
  dereference the pointer w/o going through read barrier.

* While ->next dereference passes through list_next_rcu(), the
  compiler is still free to fetch ->next more than once and thus
  nullify the "__ptr != __next" condition check.

Fix it by making list_first_or_null_rcu() dereference ->next directly
using ACCESS_ONCE() and then use list_entry_rcu() on it like other
rculist accessors.

v2: Paul pointed out that the compiler may fetch the pointer more than
    once nullifying the condition check.  ACCESS_ONCE() added on
    ->next dereference.

v3: Restored () around macro param which was accidentally removed.
    Spotted by Paul.
