    usb: gadget: u_ether: fix unsafe list iteration · b641ee14
    Marek Szyprowski authored
    [ Upstream commit c9287fa6 ]
    
    list_for_each_entry_safe() is not safe for deleting entries from the
    list if the spin lock, which protects it, is released and reacquired during
    the list iteration. Fix this issue by replacing this construction with
    a simple check if list is empty and removing the first entry in each
    iteration. This is almost equivalent to a revert of the commit mentioned in
    the Fixes: tag.
    
    This patch fixes following issue:
