[for-next][PATCH 5/8] tracing: Remove usage of list iterator after the loop body

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: Jakob Koschel <jakobkoschel@gmail.com>

In preparation to limit the scope of the list iterator variable to the
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element
[1].

Before, the code implicitly used the head when no element was found
when using &pos->list. Since the new variable is only set if an
element was found, the head needs to be used explicitly if the
variable is NULL.
