[PATCH net-next v4 06/18] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: refactor mv88e6xxx_port_vlan()

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean at nxp.com>

To avoid bugs and speculative execution exploits due to type-confused
pointers at the end of a list_for_each_entry() loop, one measure is to
restrict code to not use the iterator variable outside the loop block.

In the case of mv88e6xxx_port_vlan(), this isn't a problem, as we never
let the loops exit through "natural causes" anyway, by using a "found"
variable and then using the last "dp" iterator prior to the break, which
is a safe thing to do.

Nonetheless, with the expected new syntax, this pattern will no longer
be possible.

Profit off of the occasion and break the two port finding methods into
smaller sub-functions. Somehow, returning a copy of the iterator pointer
is still accepted.

This change makes it redundant to have a "bool found", since the "dp"
from mv88e6xxx_port_vlan() now holds NULL if we haven't found what we
were looking for.
