[PATCH v2] block: use dedicated list iterator variable

[PATCH v2] block: use dedicated list iterator variable

[Jakob Koschel]

To move the list iterator variable into the list_for_each_entry_*()
macro in the future it should be avoided to use the list iterator
variable after the loop body.

To *never* use the list iterator variable after the loop it was
concluded to use a separate iterator variable instead of a
found boolean [1].

Not a huge fan of doing a helper for this single use, but I guess it
does make the main function easier to code. So I guess that's fine. But
can you move the call down where the result is checked?

qe = blk_lookup_qe_pair(head, q);
if (!qe)
	return;

I prefer no distance between call and check, makes it easier to read. I
can make the edit locally and note it in the commit message so you don't
have to re-send it. Let me know, or just resend a v3.

I'm fine with you doing the change locally, thanks!
