Subject: [PATCH][pci-next] PCI: endpoint: fix incorrect end of table check in while loop

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently, the while loop will iterate until a matching name is found
or until the id pointer wraps around to NULL (the latter is incorrect).

The end of a pci_epf_device_id table is terminated with zero'd entries
for name and driver_data, so can change the while loop to iterate while
the first character in the name is a non-zero character.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1454557 ("Logically dead code")

Fixes: 9e9d6eb48623 ("PCI: endpoint: Add an API to get matching "pci_epf_device_id")
