We should move the contid_list assignment below this check, or decide
that aunet is always going to valid (?) and get rid of this check
completely.

We don't need the list_empty() check here do we?  I think we can just
call list_for_each_entry_rcu(), yes?

If you had to guess, what do you think is going to be more common:
bumping the refcount of an existing entry in the list, or adding a new
entry?  I'm asking because I always get a little nervous when doing
allocations while holding a spinlock.  Yes, you are doing it with
GFP_ATOMIC, but it still seems like something to try and avoid if this
is going to approach 50%.  However, if the new entry is rare then the
extra work of always doing the allocation before taking the lock and
then freeing it afterwards might be a bad tradeoff.

My gut feeling says we might do about as many allocations as refcount
bumps, but I could be thinking about this wrong.

Moving the allocation outside the spinlock might also open the door to
doing this as GFP_KERNEL, which is a good thing, but I haven't looked
at the callers to see if that is possible (it may not be).  That's an
exercise left to the patch author (if he hasn't done that already).

Unless there is some guidance that INIT_LIST_HEAD() should be used
regardless, you shouldn't need to call this here since list_add_rcu()
will take care of any list.h related initialization.
