The list element and the list head have different types in this case:

sa_manager->olist is the head of the list and sa_manager->hole can point 
to both the head and any element in the list.

The statement "if (sa_manager->hole->next == &sa_manager->olist)" now 
checks if the next pointer points to the head and if so aborts the function.

Then the statement "sa_bo = list_entry(sa_manager->hole->next, struct 
amdgpu_sa_bo, olist);" returns the next element after the hole to try to 
release it.

So with the automated change the code is still correct, but NOT easier 
to understand because we actually don't grab the first element here.

Christian.
