All other add functions for lists have the new item as first argument and the
position where it is added as second argument. This was changed for no good
reason in this function and makes using it unnecessary confusing.

Also the naming of the arguments in hlist_add_after was confusing. It was
changed to use the same names as hlist_add_after_rcu.

-static inline void hlist_add_after_rcu(struct hlist_node *prev,

+static inline void hlist_add_after_rcu(struct hlist_node *n,
+				       struct hlist_node *prev)
It is rather a shame that the change doesn't generate a compilation
error for old source files.
I am also a bit concerned by this.
