[RFC PATCH 05/13] list.h: Fix parentheses around macro pointer parameter use

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Add missing parentheses around use of macro argument "pos" in those
patterns to ensure operator precedence behaves as expected:

- typeof(*pos)
- pos->member
- "x = y" is changed for "x = (y)", because "y" can be an expression
  containing a comma if it is the result of the expansion of a macro such
  as #define eval(...) __VA_ARGS__, which would cause unexpected operator
  precedence. This use-case is far-fetched, but we have to choose one
  way or the other (with or without parentheses) for consistency,
- x && y is changed for (x) && (y).

Remove useless parentheses around use of macro parameter (head) in the
following pattern:

- list_is_head(pos, (head))

Because comma is the lowest priority operator already, so the extra pair
of parentheses is redundant.

This corrects the following usage pattern where operator precedence is
unexpected:

  LIST_HEAD(testlist);

  struct test {
          struct list_head node;
          int a;
  };

  // pos->member issue
  void f(void)
  {
          struct test *t1;
          struct test **t2 = &t1;

          list_for_each_entry((*t2), &testlist, node) {   /* works */
                  //...
          }
          list_for_each_entry(*t2, &testlist, node) {     /* broken */
                  //...
          }
  }

  // typeof(*pos) issue
  void f2(void)
  {
          struct test *t1 = NULL, *t2;

          t2 = list_prepare_entry((0 + t1), &testlist, node);     /* works */
          t2 = list_prepare_entry(0 + t1, &testlist, node);       /* broken */
  }

Note that the macros in which "pos" is also used as an lvalue probably
don't suffer from the lack of parentheses around "pos" in typeof(*pos),
but add those nevertheless to keep everything consistent.
