Subject: [PATCH net] ice: fix invalid check for empty list in
 ice_sched_assoc_vsi_to_agg()

The code implicitly assumes that the list iterator finds a correct
handle. If 'vsi_handle' is not found the 'old_agg_vsi_info' was
pointing to an bogus memory location. For safety a separate list
iterator variable should be used to make the != NULL check on
'old_agg_vsi_info' correct under any circumstances.

Additionally Linus proposed to avoid any use of the list iterator
variable after the loop, in the attempt to move the list iterator
variable declaration into the macro to avoid any potential misuse after
the loop. Using it in a pointer comparision after the loop is undefined
behavior and should be omitted if possible [1].
