cgroup/dmem: avoid rcu warning when unregister region

A warnning was detected:

 WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
 6.19.0-rc7-next-20260129+ #1101 Tainted: G           O
 kernel/cgroup/dmem.c:456 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

 other info that might help us debug this:

 rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
 1 lock held by insmod/532:
  #0: ffffffff85e78b38 (dmemcg_lock){+.+.}-dmem_cgroup_unregister_region+

The macro list_for_each_rcu() must be used within an RCU read-side critical
section (between rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()). Using it outside
that context, as seen in dmem_cgroup_unregister_region(), triggers the
lockdep warning because the RCU protection is not guaranteed.

Replace list_for_each_rcu() with list_for_each_entry_safe(), which is
appropriate for traversal under spinlock protection where nodes may be
deleted.
