Hi; Coverity points out an issue with this code (CID 1558552):

If you are going to remove an entry from a list as you
iterate over it, you can't use QLIST_FOREACH(), because
QLIST_FOREACH will look at the next pointer of the
iteration variable at the end of the loop when it
wants to advance to the next node. In this case we've
already freed 'cpu', so it would be reading freed memory.
Should we break out of the loop when we find the entry?
If we do need to continue iteration after removing the
list node, you need to use QLIST_FOREACH_SAFE() to do
the list iteration.

In this old piece of code we were OK using QLIST_FOREACH
because we returned immediately we took the node off
the list and didn't continue the iteration.
