If we exit a list_for_each_entry() without hitting a break then the
list iterator points to an offset from the list_head. It's a
non-NULL but invalid pointer and dereferencing it isn't allowed.
Introduce a new "found" variable to test instead.

Presumably, this going to be folded into the original patch. I just
added the tags because they are harmless.

Given that this patch is already in nonmm-stable, it should be OK to
apply this fix in one of the RCs.
