    list: introduce list_for_each_continue()
    
    Patch-set description:
    We see a race when reading mountinfo from criu line-by-line. When we
    read mountinfo line-by-line and some mounts which were already printed
    were umounted before printing next mounts we can see some of next mounts
    skipped from output (consequent cat /proc/<pid>/mountinfo shows them).
    This leads to situations where the mount tree is inconsistend without
    those missing mounts and criu fails.
    
    So mountinfo printing based on numeric position in mounts list is racy.
    We can switch to new mainstream approach witch adds mountinfo "cursor"
    to mount namespace mounts list so that even if some mounts are deleted
    from the list, we can still continue reading next mounts after "cursor"
    consistently.
    
    Original patch description:
    From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence at gmail.com>
    
    As other *continue() helpers, this continues iteration from a given
    position.
