List can't be empty if we already have an element of the list (f), so
why check this on every iteration?

list_for_each_entry_continue requires initialized cursor and will skip
first element if we obtain initial cursor with list_first_entry(). We
can have two loops - one that uses list_for_each_entry for initial
iteration, and another one that uses list_for_each_entry_continue for
case when f!=NULL, but I don't see how that would be any simpler.

Good catch.
