Hi Mike,

Good catch! I see llist_del_all() but forget cl->list can be modified in
closure_wait(). Yes there is potential chance to mislead
llist_for_each_entry() to iterate wrong list.
llist_for_each_entry_safe() should be used here. I will send a fix to
Jens, hope to catch up 4.14 still.

Thanks!
