LIST_POISON[12] are used to initialize list_head and hlist_node
pointers, and do void pointer arithmetic, which C++ doesn't like, so, to
avoid drifting from the kernel by introducing some HLIST_POISON to do
away with void pointer math, just make those poisoned pointers be NULL
when building it with a C++ compiler.
Noticed with:

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
