Subject: sfc: drop unnecessary list_empty
Patch-mainline: v5.9-rc1
Git-commit: d21a06d5d8268fb2d5e542c9e189db0556fc534c
References: jsc#SLE-16683

list_for_each_safe is able to handle an empty list.
The only effect of avoiding the loop is not initializing the
index variable.
Drop list_empty tests in cases where these variables are not
used.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

<smpl>

expression x,e;
iterator name list_for_each_safe;
statement S;
identifier i,j;

-if (!(list_empty(x))) {
   list_for_each_safe(i,j,x) S
- }
 ... when != i
     when != j
(
  i = e;
|
? j = e;
)
