  • Add a KUnit test for the kernel doubly linked list implementation in
    include/linux/list.h

    Each test case (list_test_x) is focused on testing the behaviour of the
    list function/macro 'x'. None of the tests pass invalid lists to these
    macros, and so should behave identically with DEBUG_LIST enabled and
    disabled.

    Note that, at present, it only tests the list_ types (not the
    singly-linked hlist_), and does not yet test all of the
    list_for_each_entry* macros (and some related things like
    list_prepare_entry).

    Ignoring checkpatch.pl spurious errors related to its handling of for_each
    and other list macros. checkpatch.pl expects anything with for_each in its
    name to be a loop and expects that the open brace is placed on the same
    line as for a for loop. In this case, test case naming scheme includes
    name of the macro it is testing, which results in the spurious errors.
