[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] i40e: i40e_main: fix a missing check on list iterator

The bug is here:
	ret = i40e_add_macvlan_filter(hw, ch->seid, vdev->dev_addr, &aq_err);

The list iterator 'ch' will point to a bogus position containing
HEAD if the list is empty or no element is found. This case must
be checked before any use of the iterator, otherwise it will
lead to a invalid memory access.

To fix this bug, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator,
while use the origin variable 'ch' as a dedicated pointer to
point to the found element.
