rcu: Remove list_for_each_continue_rcu() 

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
read-side critical sections are delimited by rcu_read_lock()
and rcu_read_unlock(), or by similar primitives such as
rcu_read_lock_bh() and rcu_read_unlock_bh(), in which case
the matching rcu_dereference() primitive must be used in order
to keep lockdep happy, in this case, rcu_dereference_bh().

primitives when the update-side lock is held is that doing so
