list: Expand list_first_entry_or_null()
Due to the use of READ_ONCE() in list_empty() the compiler cannot optimise !list_empty() ? list_first_entry() : NULL very well. By manually expanding list_first_entry_or_null() we can take advantage of the READ_ONCE() to avoid the list element changing under the test while the compiler can generate smaller code.
