Hm, I don't get it. list_for_each_entry_safe ensures you can traverse
the list while freeing it behind you. ctrlr->batch_cache is now a
bogus list, but is re-inited with the lock held. From my reading,
there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the current code. Can you
elaborate on the bug you found?

I don't really understand what this is fixing either, can you explain?
