fs/writeback, rcu: Don't use list_entry_rcu() for pointer offsetting in bdi_split_work_to_wbs()
bdi_split_work_to_wbs() uses list_for_each_entry_rcu_continue() to walk @bdi->wb_list. To set up the initial iteration condition, it uses list_entry_rcu() to calculate the entry pointer corresponding to the list head; however, this isn't an actual RCU dereference and using list_entry_rcu() for it ended up breaking a proposed list_entry_rcu() change because it was feeding an non-lvalue pointer into the macro. Don't use the RCU variant for simple pointer offsetting. Use list_entry() instead.
