net: ipv4: remove erroneous advancement of list pointer

Browse source

Causes crash when lifetime expires on an adress as garbage is
dereferenced soon after.

This used to look like this:

 for (ifap = &ifa->ifa_dev->ifa_list;
      *ifap != NULL; ifap = &(*ifap)->ifa_next) {
          if (*ifap == ifa) ...

but this was changed to:

struct in_ifaddr *tmp;

ifap = &ifa->ifa_dev->ifa_list;
tmp = rtnl_dereference(*ifap);
while (tmp) {
   tmp = rtnl_dereference(tmp->ifa_next); // Bogus
   if (rtnl_dereference(*ifap) == ifa) {
     ...
   ifap = &tmp->ifa_next;		// Can be NULL
   tmp = rtnl_dereference(*ifap);	// Dereference
   }
}

Remove the bogus assigment/list entry skip.
