Unfortunately, list_empty() is not usable with an entry that has been removed from a list with list_del_rcu() as ->next must be left pointing at the following entry so as not to break traversal under RCU. Solve this by moving on_list_rcu() from AppArmor to linux/list.h, and turning it into an inline function. Also add an on_list() counterpart (functionally, this is just an antonym for list_empty()), but the name looks less awkward when applied to a non-head element. We probably don't want to use on_list_rcu() generally because it requires an extra check as ->prev is set differently in the two cases.
