Re: [PATCH] platform/surface: aggregator: Fix use-after-free in ssh_ptl_shutdown()

ssh_packet_put() is called on the loop variable of both
list_for_each_entry() loops in ssh_ptl_shutdown(), freeing the packet
before the iterator advances past it. Use list_for_each_entry_safe()
and move pending packets to complete_p, as their links use
pending_node, so that each loop walks a single list.

Thanks! Overall valid fix, but similar to Ilpo I'd prefer this to be
two separate patches, and a better commit message for the typo. See below.

With that, feel free to add

This is fixes typo and should be addressed in a separate patch.
