Sami Tolvanen 55e6f8b3c0 treewide: Change list_sort to use const pointers
[ Upstream commit 4f0f586bf0c898233d8f316f471a21db2abd522d ]

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.
