This only works if the caller can prevent new entries from being added
to the list at this point or if the caller knows that they cannot be
added for some reason, but the kerneldoc doesn't mention this
limitation.

No, please don't do this, it makes the whole thing error-prone.

And still what if a new entry with a non-unique priority is added to
the chain at this point?
