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.
