Specifically, the iclog freeing loop doesn't handle the case of a fully initialized ->l_iclog linked list. Instead, it assumes that the list is partially constructed and NULL terminated. This bug manifested because there was no possible error scenario after iclog list setup when the original code was added. Subsequent code and associated error conditions were added some time later, while the original error handling code was never updated. Fix up the error loop to terminate either on a NULL iclog or reaching the end of the list.
