From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 704f960dbee2f1634f4b4e16f208cb16eaf41c1e upstream.
In order to apply a shortcut to skip over the current ctx->pos
immediately, by using the ei->entries array, the reading of that array
should be first. Moving the array reading before the linked list reading
will make the shortcut change diff nicer to read.
