From: Harshvardhan Jha <harshvardhan.jha@oracle.com> stable inclusion from linux-4.19.207 commit 46a43575b8c36a32f6d951a77403e0c29d424c5e -------------------------------- commit 732b33d0dbf17e9483f0b50385bf606f724f50a2 upstream. This patch addresses the following problems: - priv can never be NULL, so this part of the check is useless - if the loop ran through the whole list, priv->client is invalid and it is more appropriate and sufficient to check for the end of list_for_each_entry loop condition.
