The list iterator 'new_dev' will point to a bogus position containing
HEAD if any one of these conditions is possible: the list is empty or
no element is found, thus can potentially lead to an invalid memory
access in 'dev = new_dev->dev;'.

As discussed before, we should avoid to use a list iterator variable
outside the loop which is considered harmful[1].

In this case, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator, while
use the old variable 'new_dev' as a dedicated pointer to point to the
found entry. And BUG_ON(!new_dev);.
