[PATCH] usb: gadget: aspeed_udc: avoid past-the-end iterator in dequeue

From: Maoyi Xie <maoyixie.tju at gmail.com>

ast_udc_ep_dequeue() declares the loop cursor `req` outside the
list_for_each_entry(). After the loop it tests `&req->req != _req`
to decide whether the request was found. If the queue holds no
match, `req` is past-the-end. It then aliases
container_of(&ep->queue, struct ast_udc_request, queue) via offset
cancellation. Whether that synthetic address equals `_req` depends
on heap layout. The function can return 0 without dequeueing
anything.

Use the cursor-vs-result idiom from the sibling aspeed-vhub driver,
ast_vhub_epn_dequeue() in drivers/usb/gadget/udc/aspeed-vhub/epn.c.
A separate `iter` walks the list. `req` is set only when a request
matches. After the loop, `req` is NULL if nothing matched.

The same idiom is used by the other UDC drivers in
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/ (at91_udc, atmel_usba_udc, dummy_hcd,
fsl_qe_udc, fsl_udc_core, goku_udc, gr_udc, lpc32xx_udc,
max3420_udc, net2280, omap_udc, pxa25x_udc, pxa27x_udc, udc-xilinx,
bcm63xx_udc).
