NACK. This patch doesn't build. You have extra cur in the conversion.
Right changes attached. 

ext4:  Convert list_for_each_rcu() to list_for_each_entry_rcu()

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

The list_for_each_entry_rcu() primitive should be used instead of
list_for_each_rcu(), as the former is easier to use and provides
better type safety.
