Subject: [PATCH v6 2/6] vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() variants

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

evict_inodes() and invalidate_inodes() use list_for_each_entry_safe()
to iterate sb->s_inodes list. However, since we use i_lru list entry for
our local temporary list of inodes to destroy, the inode is guaranteed
to stay in sb->s_inodes list while we hold sb->s_inode_list_lock. So
there is no real need for safe iteration variant and we can use
list_for_each_entry() just fine.
