SubjectRe: [PATCH] llist: Put parentheses around parameters of llist_for_each_entry_safe()

Hello Ingo and Peter,

Even though Huang said this change is unnecessary, I'm curious about
what you think about this fix.

As Huang said, original code is safe unless users of llist use the
API weirdly, but I think this patch anyway makes the API safer and
align with the other llist APIs.

Thanks,
