[PATCH 1/2] gfs2: remove usage of list iterator variable for list_for_each_entry_continue()

[Jakob Koschel <jakobkoschel@gmail.com>]

In preparation to limiting the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to iterate through the list [1].

Since that variable should not be used past the loop iteration, a
separate variable is used to 'remember the current location within the
loop'.

To either continue iterating from that position or start a new
iteration (if the previous iteration was complete) list_prepare_entry()
is used.
