Subject: [PATCH 17/26] usb: gadget: configfs: remove using list iterator after loop body as a ptr

If the list does not contain the expected element, the value of
list_for_each_entry() iterator will not point to a valid structure.
To avoid type confusion in such case, the list iterator
scope will be limited to list_for_each_entry() loop.

In preparation to limiting scope of a list iterator to the list traversal
loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element [1].
Determining if an element was found is then simply checking if
the pointer is != NULL instead of using the potentially bogus pointer.
