[PATCH net-next v2 02/18] net: dsa: sja1105: remove use of iterator after list_for_each_entry() loop

The link below explains that there is a desire to syntactically change
list_for_each_entry() and list_for_each() such that it becomes
impossible to use the iterator variable outside the scope of the loop.

Although sja1105_insert_gate_entry() makes legitimate use of the
iterator pointer when it breaks out, the pattern it uses may become
illegal, so it needs to change.

It is deemed acceptable to use a copy of the loop iterator, and
sja1105_insert_gate_entry() only needs to know the list_head element
before which the list insertion should be made. So let's profit from the
occasion and refactor the list iteration to a dedicated function.

An additional benefit is given by the fact that with the helper function
in place, we no longer need to special-case the empty list, since it is
equivalent to not having found any gating entry larger than the
specified interval in the list. We just need to insert at the tail of
that list (list_add vs list_add_tail on an empty list does the same
thing).
