The patch titled
Subject: include/linux/list.h: add a macro to test if entry is pointing to the head
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
list-add-a-macro-to-test-if-entry-is-pointing-to-the-head.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: include/linux/list.h: add a macro to test if entry is pointing to the head
Add a macro to test if entry is pointing to the head of the list which is
useful in cases like:
list_for_each_entry(pos, &head, member) {
if (cond)
break;
}
if (list_entry_is_head(pos, &head, member))
return -ERRNO;
that allows to avoid additional variable to be added to track if loop has
not been stopped in the middle.
While here, convert list_for_each_entry*() family of macros to use a new one.
