[Drbd-dev] [PATCH 3/6] treewide: fix incorrect use to determine if list is empty

[Jakob Koschel]

The list iterator value will *always* be set by list_for_each_entry().
It is incorrect to assume that the iterator value will be NULL if the
list is empty.

Instead of checking the pointer it should be checked if
the list is empty.
In acpi_get_pmu_hw_inf() instead of setting the pointer to NULL
on the break, it is set to the correct value and leaving it
NULL if no element was found.
