[PATCH v2 1/6] staging: rtl8188eu: use safe iterator in rtw_free_network_queue

[Martin Kaiser]

rtw_free_network_queue iterates over the scanned wireless networks and
calls _rtw_free_network for each of them. In some cases,
_rtw_free_network removes a network from the list.

We have to use list_for_each_entry_safe if we remove list entries while
we iterate over a list.

v2:
 - use list_for_each_entry_safe

Without this patch, it's easy to get the driver into an endless loop by
scanning, connecting and disconnecting repeatedly.

wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /path/to/my/config...
while true ; do
   sleep 1
   wpa_cli reconfigure
   wpa_cli add_network
   wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid ...
   wpa_cli set_network 0 psk ...
   wpa_cli select_network 0
   sleep 6
   wpa_cli status
   wpa_cli disconnect 0
done
