Summary
i40e: Fix potential invalid access when MAC list is empty
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i40e: Fix potential invalid access when MAC list is empty

listfirstentry() never returns NULL - if the list is empty, it still returns a pointer to an invalid object, leading to potential invalid memory access when dereferenced.

Fix this by using listfirstentryornull instead of listfirstentry.
