rculist.h: introduce list_entry_rcu() and list_first_entry_rcu()
I've run into the situation where I need to use list_first_entry with rcu-guarded list. This patch introduces this. Also simplify list_for_each_entry_rcu() to use new list_entry_rcu() instead of list_entry(). Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Paul E.
