* list_sort - sort a list
* @priv: private data, opaque to list_sort(), passed to @cmp
* @head: the list to sort
* @cmp: the elements comparison function
*
* This function implements a bottom-up merge sort, which has O(nlog(n))
* complexity. We use depth-first order to take advantage of cacheing.
* (E.g. when we get to the fourth element, we immediately merge the
* first two 2-element lists.)
*
* The comparison funtion @cmp must return > 0 if @a should sort after
* @b ("@a > @b" if you want an ascending sort), and <= 0 if @a should
* sort before @b *or* their original order should be preserved. It is
* always called with the element that came first in the input in @a,
* and list_sort is a stable sort, so it is not necessary to distinguish
* the @a < @b and @a == @b cases.
*
* This is compatible with two styles of @cmp function:
* - The traditional style which returns <0 / =0 / >0, or
* - Returning a boolean 0/1.
* The latter offers a chance to save a few cycles in the comparison
* (which is used by e.g. plug_ctx_cmp() in block/blk-mq.c).
*
* A good way to write a multi-word comparison is
* if (a->high != b->high)
* return a->high > b->high;
* if (a->middle != b->middle)
* return a->middle > b->middle;
* return a->low > b->low;
