Wouldn't something as simple as

#define __list_check_rcu(dummy, cond, ...) \
       RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(!cond && !rcu_read_lock_any_held(), \
			 "RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!");

for ( ({ __list_check_rcu(junk, ##cond, 0); }), pos = ... )

work just as well (i.e., no need for two list_check_rcu and
list_check_rcu_cond variants)? If there's an optional cond, we use that,
if not, we pick the trailing 0, so !cond disappears and it reduces to
your __list_check_rcu(). Moreover, this ensures the RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN
expansion actually picks up the __LINE__ and __FILE__ where the for loop
is used, and not the __FILE__ and __LINE__ of the static inline function
from the header file. It also makes it a bit more type safe/type generic
(if the cond expression happened to have type long or u64 something
rather odd could happen with the inline vararg function).
