[PATCH] rculist : Introduce list/hlist_for_each_entry_srcu() macros

From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <madhuparnabhowmik10@xxxxxxxxx>

list/hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() provides an optional cond argument
to specify the lock held in the updater side.
However for SRCU read side, not providing the cond argument results
into false positive as whether srcu_read_lock is held or not is not
checked implicitly. Therefore, on read side the lockdep expression
srcu_read_lock_held(srcu struct) can solve this issue.

However, the function still fails to check the cases where srcu
protected list is traversed with rcu_read_lock() instead of
srcu_read_lock(). Therefore, to remove the false negative,
this patch introduces two new list traversal primitives :
list_for_each_entry_srcu() and hlist_for_each_entry_srcu().

Both of the functions have non-optional cond argument
as it is required for both read and update side, and simply checks
if the cond is true.
