[ Upstream commit 57ddfecc72a6c9941d159543e1c0c0a74fe9afdd ]
list_for_each_entry_reverse() assumes that the iterated list is nonempty
and that every list_head is embedded in the same type, but its use in
padata_do_serial() breaks both rules.
This doesn't cause any issues now because padata_priv and padata_list
happen to have their list fields at the same offset, but we really
shouldn't be relying on that.
Fixes: bfde23ce200e ("padata: unbind parallel jobs from specific CPUs")
