Subject: [PATCH v4 2/5] platform/x86: dell_rbu: Fix list usage

Pass the correct list head to list_for_each_entry*() when looping through
the packet list.

Without this patch, reading the packet data via sysfs will show the data
incorrectly (because it starts at the wrong packet), and clearing the
packet list will result in a NULL pointer dereference.

Fixes: d19f359fbdc6 ("platform/x86: dell_rbu: don't open code list_for_each_entry*()")
