When list_for_each_entry() completes the iteration over the whole list
without breaking the loop, the iterator value will be a bogus pointer
computed based on the head element.
While it is safe to use the pointer to determine if it was computed
based on the head element with &pos->member == head, using the iterator
variable after the loop should be avoided.
In preparation to limiting the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element [1].

Well exactly that's why I'm pushing back to those changes.
We have tons of cases like this and I certainly won't accept patches to
make the code more complex than necessary. Especially not adding extra
local variables.

Christian.
