    The new CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST requires a condition statement in
    (h)list_for_each_entry_rcu when the code might be executed in a non RCU
    non-reader section with the writer lock. Otherwise lockdep might cause a
    false positive warning like
    
      =============================
      WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
      -----------------------------
      translation-table.c:940 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
    
    batman-adv is (mostly) following the examples from the RCU documentation
    and is using the normal list-traversal primitives instead of the RCU
    list-traversal primitives when the writer (spin)lock is held.
    
    The remaining users of RCU list-traversal primitives with writer spinlock
    have to be converted to the same style as the rest of the code.
