In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer pointing to the location where the element should be inserted [1].
Before, the code implicitly used the head when no element was found when using &new->list. The new 'pos' variable is set to the list head by default and overwritten if the list exits early, marking the insertion point for list_add().
