Fix loop by avoiding loop altogether

Subject says most, if a sufficiently adequate entry is not found when doing a
LOOKUP_EXACT, it might end up in a never ending while ().

Attached patch should fix according to semantics (afaics).
I am also not entirely clear on how doing g_list_next or g_list_previous on an
unsorted list [*] is likely to end up with desired/optimal result ?

[*] though in typical cases it will probably end up sort-of sorted descending,
in which case list walk would match that
