list: Use READ_ONCE() when testing for empty lists
Most of the list-empty-check macros (list_empty(), hlist_empty(), hlist_bl_empty(), hlist_nulls_empty(), and hlist_nulls_empty()) use an unadorned load to check the list header. Given that these macros are sometimes invoked without the protection of a lock, this is not sufficient. This commit therefore adds READ_ONCE() calls to them. This commit does not touch llist_empty() because it already has the needed ACCESS_ONCE(). Reported-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
