[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 23/24] tools include: Do not use poison with C++

[alexander.levin@xxxxxxxxxxx]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 6ae8eefc6c8fe050f057781b70a83262eb0a61ee ]

LIST_POISON[12] are used to initialize list_head and hlist_node
pointers, and do void pointer arithmetic, which C++ doesn't like, so, to
avoid drifting from the kernel by introducing some HLIST_POISON to do
away with void pointer math, just make those poisoned pointers be NULL
when building it with a C++ compiler.

Noticed with:
