[ Upstream commit a556f06338e1d5a85af0e32ecb46e365547f92b9 ]
list_first_entry() never returns NULL - if the list is empty, it still returns a pointer to an invalid object, leading to potential invalid memory access when dereferenced.
Fix this by using list_first_entry_or_null instead of list_first_entry.
