sfc: drop unnecessary list_empty

list_for_each_safe is able to handle an empty list.
The only effect of avoiding the loop is not initializing the
index variable.
Drop list_empty tests in cases where these variables are not
used.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

<smpl>

expression x,e;
iterator name list_for_each_safe;
statement S;
identifier i,j;

-if (!(list_empty(x))) {

- }
 ... when != i
     when != j
(
  i = e;
|
? j = e;
)
