[PATCH 2/3] net/rfkill/core.c: Avoid leaving freed data in a list

[Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]

The list_for_each_entry loop can fail, in which case the list element is
not removed from the list rfkill_fds.  Since this list is not accessed by
the loop, the addition of &data->list into the list is just moved after the
loop.

The sematic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression E,E1,E2;
identifier l;
@@

*list_add(&E->l,E1);
... when != E1
    when != list_del(&E->l)
    when != list_del_init(&E->l)
    when != E = E2
*kfree(E);// </smpl>

I have only verified that rfkill_fds is not accessed by the loop by
inspecting the code.  If this analysis is not correct, the other solution
would be to leave the list_add where it is and delete the element from the
list explicitly.
