Subject: [PATCH 04/11] smp: Iterate functions through llist_for_each_entry_safe()

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

The IPI function llist iteration is open coded. Lets simplify this
with using an llist iterator.

Also we want to keep the iteration safe against possible
csd.llist->next value reuse from the IPI handler. At least the block
subsystem used to do such things so lets stay careful and use
llist_for_each_entry_safe().
