Subject: [PATCH 5.4 369/389] lib/list_debug.c: Detect uninitialized lists

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net>

[ Upstream commit 0cc011c576aaa4de505046f7a6c90933d7c749a9 ]

In some circumstances, attempts are made to add entries to or to remove
entries from an uninitialized list.  A prime example is
amdgpu_bo_vm_destroy(): It is indirectly called from
ttm_bo_init_reserved() if that function fails, and tries to remove an
entry from a list.  However, that list is only initialized in
amdgpu_bo_create_vm() after the call to ttm_bo_init_reserved() returned
success.  This results in crashes such as

Check if the list's prev and next pointers are NULL to catch such problems.
