Subject: [PATCH v1 3/7] ACPI: scan: Replace infinite for-loop with finite while-loop

The infinite loops is harder to understand (as one has to go
over the body in order to find main exit conditional) and it's
more verbose than usual approach with a while-loop.

Note, we may not use list_for_each_entry_safe() as there is locking
involved and the saved pointer may become invalid behind our back.
