list_for_each_entry_safe() is not safe for deleting entries from the
list if the spin lock, which protects it, is released and reacquired during
the list iteration. Fix this issue by replacing this construction with
a simple check if list is empty and removing the first entry in each
iteration. This is almost equivalent to a revert of the commit mentioned in
the Fixes: tag.
This patch fixes following issue:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
