Subject: [PATCH] crypto: cavium/nitrox - Fix 'nitrox_get_first_device()' when ndevlist is fully iterated

When a list is completely iterated with 'list_for_each_entry(x, ...)', x is
not NULL at the end.

Introduce an intermediate variable and test it instead, in order to
reliably know if something was found or not.

Fixes: f2663872f073 ("crypto: cavium - Register the CNN55XX supported crypto algorithms.")
