During 6.4 development it became clear that the one-shot list used by the user_event_mm's next field was confusing to others. It is not clear how this list is protected or what the next field usage is for unless you are familiar with the code. Add comments into the user_event_mm struct indicating lock requirement and usage. Also document how and why this approach was used via comments in both user_event_enabler_update() and user_event_mm_get_all() and the rules to properly use it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
