Re: [PATCH v3 09/17] treewide: Change list_sort to use const pointers

list_sort() internally casts the comparison function passed to it
to a different type with constant struct list_head pointers, and
uses this pointer to call the functions, which trips indirect call
Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking.

Instead of removing the consts, this change defines the
list_cmp_func_t type and changes the comparison function types of
all list_sort() callers to use const pointers, thus avoiding type
mismatches.

This looks like all of the call sites I could find.  Yes, this looks
much better, thank you for taking the time to fix all of these. I ran
this through some build tests of ARCH=arm64 defconfig, allyesconfig,
and same for my host (x86_64). All LGTM.
