bpqether: fix rcu usage

The rcu_dereference() primitive needs to be applied to an l-value in order to
ensure that compiler writers don't get an opportunity to apply reordering
optimizations that could result in multiple fetches or in other misbehavior.
This patch pulls the rcu_dereference() calls in bpq_seq_next() up to the point
at which the fetched pointers are still l-values, rather than after
list_entry() has transformed them into r-values.
