[PATCH] tracing/user_events: Optimize safe list traversals

From: Eric Vaughn
Date: Thu Aug 10 2023 - 15:43:45 EST


Several of the list traversals in the user_events facility use safe list
traversals where they could be using the unsafe versions instead.

Replace these safe traversals with their unsafe counterparts in the
interest of optimization.
