[PATCH 1/2] dlm: remove usage of list iterator for list_add() after the loop body

From: Jakob Koschel
Date: Thu Mar 31 2022 - 18:02:24 EST


In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element [1].

Before, the code implicitly used the head when no element was found
when using &pos->list. Since the new variable is only set if an
element was found, the list_add() is performed within the loop
and only done after the loop if it is done on the list head directly.
