[PATCH v2 2/6] staging: rtl8188eu: use safe iterator in rtw_free_all_stainfo

From: Martin Kaiser
Date: Mon May 17 2021 - 16:20:44 EST


This is another case where we may remove list entries while we iterate over
the list. Use list_for_each_entry_safe to avoid an endless loop.

Fixes: 23017c8842d2 ("staging: rtl8188eu: Use list iterators and helpers")

v2:
- use list_for_each_entry_safe

Without this patch, unloading the module goes into an endless loop
sometimes.
