efi: vars: Drop __efivar_entry_iter() helper which is no longer used
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
__efivar_entry_iter() uses a list iterator in a dubious way, i.e., it
assumes that the iteration variable always points to an object of the
appropriate type, even if the list traversal exhausts the list
completely, in which case it will point somewhere in the vicinity of the
list's anchor instead.

Fortunately, we no longer use this function so we can just get rid of it
entirely.

* Iterate over the list of EFI variables and call @func with every
* entry on the list. It is safe for @func to remove entries in the
* list via efivar_entry_delete().
*
* You MUST call efivar_entry_iter_begin() before this function, and
* efivar_entry_iter_end() afterwards.
*
* It is possible to begin iteration from an arbitrary entry within
* the list by passing @prev. @prev is updated on return to point to
* the last entry passed to @func. To begin iterating from the
* beginning of the list @prev must be %NULL.
*
* The restrictions for @func are the same as documented for
* efivar_entry_iter().
