Subject: [PATCH 0/2] drm/nouveau: avoid usage of list iterator after loop

This patch set includes two instances where the list iterator variable
'pstate' is implicitly assumed to be valid after the iterator loop.
While in pratice that is most likely the case (if
'pstatei'/'args->v0.state' is <= the elements in clk->states), we should
explicitly only allow 'pstate' to always point to correct 'nvkm_pstate'
structs.

That allows catching potential bugs with BUG_ON(!pstate) that otherwise
would be completely undetectable.

It also helps the greater mission to hopefully move the list iterator
variable into the iterating macro directly [1].

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drm/nouveau/device: avoid usage of list iterator after loop

If potentially no valid element is found, 'pstate' would contain an
invalid pointer past the iterator loop. To ensure 'pstate' is always
valid, we only set it if the correct element was found. That allows
adding a BUG_ON in case the code works incorrectly, exposing currently
undetectable potential bugs.

Additionally, Linus proposed to avoid any use of the list iterator
variable after the loop, in the attempt to move the list iterator
variable declaration into the marcro to avoid any potential misuse after
the loop [1].

Actually hm, dim is warning me about this and making me realize there's
probably a better way to handle this, going to revoke the previous r-b I gave
and respond inline

Let's replace this with

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!pstate))
return -EINVAL;

We should probably also replace this with

if (WARN_ON(!pstate)
return -EINVAL;
