xen-blkfront: drop the use of llist_for_each_entry_safe
Replace llist_for_each_entry_safe with a while loop.
llist_for_each_entry_safe can trigger a bug in GCC 4.1, so it's best
to remove it and use a while loop and do the deletion manually.
Specifically this bug can be triggered by hot-unplugging a disk, either
by doing xm block-detach or by save/restore cycle.
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0
IP: [<ffffffffa0047223>] blkif_free+0x63/0x130 [xen_blkfront]
The crash call trace is:
...
bad_area_nosemaphore+0x13/0x20
do_page_fault+0x25e/0x4b0
page_fault+0x25/0x30
? blkif_free+0x63/0x130 [xen_blkfront]

do_suspend+0x117/0x1e0
When drilling down to the assembler code, on newer GCC it does
.L29:
cmpq $-16, %r12 #, persistent_gnt check
je .L30 #, out of the loop
.L25:
... code in the loop
testq %r13, %r13 # n
je .L29 #, back to the top of the loop
cmpq $-16, %r12 #, persistent_gnt check
movq 16(%r12), %r13 # <variable>.node.next, n
jne .L25 #, back to the top of the loop
.L30:
While on GCC 4.1, it is:
L78:
... code in the loop
testq %r13, %r13 # n
je .L78 #, back to the top of the loop
movq 16(%rbx), %r13 # <variable>.node.next, n
jmp .L78 #, back to the top of the loop
Which basically means that the exit loop condition instead of
being:
&(pos)->member != NULL;
is:
;
which makes the loop unbound.
Since xen-blkfront is the only user of the llist_for_each_entry_safe
macro remove it from llist.h.
