Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: replace unnecessary use of list_for_each_entry_continue()

Since there is no way for the previous list_for_each_entry() to exit
early, this call to list_for_each_entry_continue() is always guaranteed
to start with the first element of the list and can therefore be
replaced with a call to list_for_each_entry().

In preparation to limit the scope of the list iterator to the list
traversal loop, the list iterator variable 'rule' should not be used
past the loop.
