[PATCH v4 2/4] list_debug: Introduce inline wrappers for debug checks

From: Marco Elver
Date: Fri Aug 11 2023 - 11:20:52 EST


Turn the list debug checking functions __list_*_valid() into inline
functions that wrap the out-of-line functions. Care is taken to ensure
the inline wrappers are always inlined, so that additional compiler
instrumentation (such as sanitizers) does not result in redundant
outlining.

This change is preparation for performing checks in the inline wrappers.

No functional change intended.
