[PATCH] 9p/xen: Fix end of loop tests for list_for_each_entry

From: Harshvardhan Jha <hidden>
Date: 2021-07-27 00:08:03
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: 9p file system, the rest · Maintainers: Eric Van Hensbergen, Latchesar Ionkov, Dominique Martinet, Linus Torvalds

This patch addresses the following problems:
 - priv can never be NULL, so this part of the check is useless
 - if the loop ran through the whole list, priv->client is invalid and
it is more appropriate and sufficient to check for the end of
list_for_each_entry loop condition.
