Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] m2p_find_override: use list_for_each_entry_safe

Use list_for_each_entry_safe and remove the spin_lock acquisition in
m2p_find_override: getting stale entries is OK because we should never
get an m2p_find_override call looking for an entry that we are about to
add or delete.
