This is the case for iterate_all_kinds(), but not for iterate_and_advance().
See _copy_mc_to_iter() for example: that can return directly out of the middle
of the loop, so the X variant must drop the rcu_read_lock(), but the B variant
doesn't need to. You also can't just use break to get out as the X variant
has a loop within a loop to handle iteration over the subelements of a THP.
But with iterate_all_kinds(), I could just drop the X parameter and use the B
parameter for both, I think.
