Subject: [PATCH net-next RESEND 0/2] fix rculist sparse errors

When hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh() gets "next" pointer of
hlist_node structure through rcu_dereference_bh(), sparse warning
appears as the "next" pointer is not annotated as __rcu. So if
the "next" pointer is accessed with hlist_next_rcu() macro, the
__rcu annotation will be added to the pointer. As a consequence,
sparse warning is eliminated too.

The similar errors also appear in hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu()
and hlist_for_each_entry_from_rcu().

In this version, CC more people like Paul E. McKenney and lkml mail
list.

  tipc: fix RCU sparse error
  ipv6: fix sparse warning
