By now you probably studied more list access patterns than I did,
but I wrote that deliberately using list_add(..., pos->prev) rather than
list_add_tail(), because even though the code is the same, I tend to
think of the "head" argument of list_add_tail() as being the actual head
of the list, and therefore the head->prev being the tail of the list
(hence the name), something which doesn't hold true here where we're
inserting in the middle of the list. Anyway it's just a name and that's
what felt natural to me at the time, I won't oppose the change, but do
make it a separate change and not clump it together with the unrelated
list_for_each_entry() -> list_for_each() change.
