    drm/xe/guc: Fix dereference before NULL check
    
    The pointer list->list is dereferenced before the NULL check.
    Fix this by moving the NULL check outside the for loop, so that
    the check is performed before the dereferencing.
    The list->list pointer cannot be NULL so this has no effect on runtime.
    It's just a correctness issue.
