[PATCH v3 3/4] sched/fair: Use list_for_each_entry_rcu() in print_cfs_stats()

In print_cfs_stats(), rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list is traversed using
for_each_leaf_cfs_rq_safe(), which expands to list_for_each_entry_safe().
Although rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list is RCU-protected, list_for_each_entry_safe()
is a non-RCU iteration macro. It dereferences pointer links without
READ_ONCE() and pre-fetches the next pointer.

When a writer concurrently adds a new cfs_rq to the list using
list_add_rcu(), a reader traversing with list_for_each_entry_safe()
lacks READ_ONCE() protection. Without READ_ONCE(), the compiler is free
to re-fetch pointers or reorder instructions. As a result, the reader
can observe a newly inserted cfs_rq's pointer before its internal fields
are fully visible, leading to reading uninitialised data or
dereferencing invalid pointers. This is illustrated below:

           CPU 0                                        CPU 1
    Writer (under rq->lock)                      Reader (print_cfs_stats)
   ---------------------------                  --------------------------
    1. Initialise cfs_rq                         rcu_read_lock()
         cfs_rq->tg = tg
         cfs_rq->load = 1024
    2. list_add_rcu(&cfs_rq->list, ...):         3. for_each_leaf_cfs_rq_safe():
         smp_store_release()                          Reads prev->next (cfs_rq)
         prev->next = cfs_rq           ----->         Missing READ_ONCE()
                                                 4. Reads cfs_rq fields; sees
                                                    garbage data
                                                      cfs_rq->tg
                                                      cfs_rq->load

Fix this by introducing for_each_leaf_cfs_rq_rcu(), which expands to
list_for_each_entry_rcu(). This uses READ_ONCE() during list traversal.
