Merge branch 'rcu/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu

Pull fix for hlist_entry_safe() regression from Paul McKenney:
 "This contains a single commit that fixes a regression in
  hlist_entry_safe().  This macro references its argument twice, which
  can cause NULL-pointer errors.  This commit applies a gcc statement
  expression, creating a temporary variable to avoid the double
  reference.  This has been posted to LKML at

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/9/75.

  Kudos to CAI Qian, whose testing uncovered this, to Eric Dumazet, who
  spotted root cause, and to Li Zefan, who tested this commit."
