nit: We no longer need the extra parens around *list.

A pattern I've noticed in several places is that the struct member is accessed multiple times in the same method body, and this is auto-converted to multiple method calls. However, these values are fixed, so it would be better to store the value as a local variable and reuse that variable instead. This is one of the shortcomings of the Coccinelle transformation, so you'll need to manually inspect each of the diff fragments to see if we can reduce the number of method calls. It might be helpful to do that as a follow-up, so we can see that this patch is generated by the Coccinelle script, and then a later patch can be scrutinized more carefully when you are doing manual code manipulation.
