No. the conditon to call opp_migrate_dentry(opp_dev, opp_table); is:
if (!list_is_singular(&opp_table->dev_list)),

while list_is_singlular is: !list_empty(head) && (head->next == head->prev);

so the condition is: list_empty(head) || (head->next != head->prev)

if the list is empty, the bug can be triggered.
