From: Jakob Koschel <jakobkoschel@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 901aeda62efa21f2eae937bccb71b49ae531be06 ] In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to iterate through the list [1]. Since that variable should not be used past the loop iteration, a separate variable is used to 'remember the current location within the loop'. To either continue iterating from that position or skip the iteration (if the previous iteration was complete) list_prepare_entry() is used.
