Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk f84adf4921 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:
	...

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.
