Subject[RFC PATCH 04/13] vfio/mdev: remove the usage of the list iterator after the loop
Date
It is unsafe to assume that tmp != mdev can only evaluate to false
if the break within the list iterator is hit.

When the break is not hit, tmp is set to an address derived from the
head element. If mdev would match with that value of tmp it would allow
continuing beyond the safety check even if mdev was never found within
the list
