From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
The list_for_each_continue_rcu() macro is no longer used, so this commit
removes it. The list_for_each_entry_continue_rcu() macro should be
used instead.

The same cautions apply to call_rcu_bh() and call_rcu_sched().
9. All RCU list-traversal primitives, which include
- rcu_dereference(), list_for_each_entry_rcu(),
- list_for_each_continue_rcu(), and list_for_each_safe_rcu(),
- must be either within an RCU read-side critical section or
- must be protected by appropriate update-side locks. RCU

The reason that it is permissible to use RCU list-traversal
primitives when the update-side lock is held is that doing so
