In preparation to limit the scope of the list iterator variable 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 start a new iteration (if the previous iteration was complete) list_prepare_entry() is used.
