Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ipv4: ipmr: fix invalid cache resolving when adding a non-matching entry

The patch to convert struct mfc_cache to list_heads (ipv4: ipmr: convert
struct mfc_cache to struct list_head) introduced a bug when adding new
cache entries that don't match any unresolved entries.

The unres queue is searched for a matching entry, which is then resolved.
When no matching entry is present, the iterator points to the head of the
list, but is treated as a matching entry. Use a seperate variable to
indicate that a matching entry was found.
