From: Lihong Yang lihong.yang@intel.com

[ Upstream commit 784548c40d6f43eff2297220ad7800dc04be03c6 ]

This patch replaces hash_for_each function with hash_for_each_safe when calling __i40e_del_filter. The hash_for_each_safe function is the right one to use when iterating over a hash table to safely remove a hash entry. Otherwise, incorrect values may be read from freed memory.
