Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/13] list: introduce speculative safe list_for_each_entry()

list_for_each_entry() selects either the correct value (pos) or a safe
value for the additional mispredicted iteration (NULL) for the list
iterator.
list_for_each_entry() calls select_nospec(), which performs
a branch-less select.

On x86, this select is performed via a cmov. Otherwise, it's performed
via various shift/mask/etc. operations.
