Subject: [PATCH] char: tty3270: fix a missing check on list iterator

The bug is here:
	if (s->len != flen) {

The list iterator 's' will point to a bogus position containing
HEAD if the list is empty or no element is found. This case must
be checked before any use of the iterator, otherwise it may bpass
the 'if (s->len != flen) {' in theory iif s->len's value is flen.

To fix this bug, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator,
while use the origin variable 's' as a dedicated pointer to
point to the found element.
