[PATCH] net: microchip: vcap: stop scanning after deleting key field

[Daniel Machon]

> The only call outside the KUnit tests is in
> sparx5_tc_add_rule_copy(), which passes a fixed key list with no
> duplicate entries. Therefore, the potential double-free is not
> currently reachable in tree.

Agree. Not reachable today.

> 
> However, vcap_filter_rule_keys() is exported and does not require its
> key list entries to be unique. If a future or external caller supplies
> the same key at another position that the inner loop visits, it calls
> list_del() and kfree() a second time on the freed field, leading to a
> potential double-free.
> 

Also agree.

> Break the inner loop after removing a matching field. The outer safe
> list traversal continues to process the remaining rule fields.

Patch is missing the target tree (net), the fix LGTM.
