Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/4] RCU-protected list updates for 4.2

Hello!

This series contains a few updates to RCU-protected lists.

1.	Add RCU annotation to suppress sparse warnings in
	hlist_for_each_entry_from_rcu(), courtesy of Ying Xue.

2.	Fix list_entry_rcu to read ptr with rcu_dereference_raw() to
	save a load instruction, courtesy of Patrick Marlier.

3.	Fix list_entry_rcu() usage in next_active_rdev(), courtesy
	of Patrick Marlier.

4.	Fix list_entry_rcu() usage in nf_hook_slow(), courtesy of
	Patrick Marlier.

							Thanx, Paul
