commit eed6e41813deb9ee622cd9242341f21430d7789f upstream. list_for_each_entry_safe() is only useful if we are deleting nodes in a linked list within the loop. It doesn't protect against other threads adding/deleting nodes to the list in parallel. We need to grab deferred_probe_mutex when traversing the deferred_probe_pending_list.
