[PATCH v1] timerqueue: use rb_entry_safe() in timerqueue_getnext()

From: Barnabás Pőcze
Date: Thu Oct 27 2022 - 17:37:24 EST


When `timerqueue_getnext()` is called on an empty timerqueue
the returned rb_node pointer will be NULL. Using `rb_entry()`
on a potentially NULL pointer will only - coincidentally - work
if the offset of the rb_node member is 0. This is currently the
case for `timerqueue_node`, but should this ever change,
`timerqueue_getnext()` will no longer work correctly on empty
timerqueues. To avoid this, switch to using `rb_entry_safe()`.
