[PATCH 5/6] treewide: remove dereference of list iterator after loop body

The list iterator variable will be a bogus pointer if no break was hit.
Dereferencing it could load *any* out-of-bounds/undefined value
making it unsafe to use that in the comparision to determine if the
specific element was found.

This is fixed by using a separate list iterator variable for the loop
and only setting the original variable if a suitable element was found.
Then determing if the element was found is simply checking if the
variable is set.
