rtw_free_network_queue iterates over the scanned wireless networks and
calls _rtw_free_network for each of them. In some cases,
_rtw_free_network removes a network from the list.
We have to use list_for_each_safe if we remove list entries while we
iterate over a list.

Without this patch, it's easy to get the driver into an endless loop by
scanning, connecting and disconnecting repeatedly.
