Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] list: Split list_add() debug checking into separate function
Right now, __list_add() code is repeated either in list.h or in
list_debug.c, but only the debug checks are the different part. This
extracts the checking into a separate function and consolidates
__list_add(). Additionally this __list_add_debug() will stop list
manipulations if a corruption is detected, instead of allowing for further
corruption that may lead to even worse conditions.
This is slight refactoring of the same hardening done in PaX and Grsecurity.
