syzbot (via KASAN) reports a use-after-free in the error path of xlog_alloc_log(). Specifically, the iclog freeing loop doesn't handle the case of a fully initialized ->l_iclog linked list. Instead, it assumes that the list is partially constructed and NULL terminated. This bug manifested because there was no possible error scenario after iclog list setup when the original code was added. Subsequent code and associated error conditions were added some time later, while the original error handling code was never updated. Fix up the error loop to terminate either on a NULL iclog or reaching the end of the list.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
