llist/xen-blkfront: implement safe version of llist_for_each_entry
Implement a safe version of llist_for_each_entry, and use it in blkif_free. Previously grants where freed while iterating the list, which lead to dereferences when trying to fetch the next item.

128 * llist_for_each_entry_safe - iterate safely against remove over some entries
129 * of lock-less list of given type.
130 * @pos: the type * to use as a loop cursor.
131 * @n: another type * to use as a temporary storage.
132 * @node: the fist entry of deleted list entries.
133 * @member: the name of the llist_node with the struct.
134 *
135 * In general, some entries of the lock-less list can be traversed
136 * safely only after being removed from list, so start with an entry
137 * instead of list head. This variant allows removal of entries
138 * as we iterate.
139 *
140 * If being used on entries deleted from lock-less list directly, the
141 * traverse order is from the newest to the oldest added entry. If
142 * you want to traverse from the oldest to the newest, you must
143 * reverse the order by yourself before traversing.
