[PATCH v2 0/2] drm/nouveau: avoid usage of list iterator after loop

This patch set includes two instances where the list iterator variable
'pstate' is implicitly assumed to be valid after the iterator loop.
While in pratice that is most likely the case (if
'pstatei'/'args->v0.state' is <= the elements in clk->states), we should
explicitly only allow 'pstate' to always point to correct 'nvkm_pstate'
structs.

That allows catching potential bugs with WARN_ON(!pstate) that otherwise
would be completely undetectable.

It also helps the greater mission to hopefully move the list iterator
variable into the iterating macro directly [1].
