The problem is that shmem_unused_huge_shrink() moves entries
from the global sbinfo->shrinklist to its local lists and then
releases the spinlock. However, a parallel shmem_setattr()
could access one of these entries directly and add it back to
the global shrinklist if it is removed, with the spinlock held.

The logic itself looks solid since an entry could be either
in a local list or the global list, otherwise it is removed
from one of them by list_del_init(). So probably the race
condition is that, one CPU is in the middle of INIT_LIST_HEAD()
but the other CPU calls list_empty() which returns true
too early then the following list_add_tail() sees a corrupted
entry.

list_empty_careful() is designed to fix this situation.
