If a list_for_each_entry() loop exits without hitting a break statement
then the iterator points to invalid memory.  So in this code the
"tst->name" dereference is an out bounds read.  It's an offset from the
&test_upload_list pointer and it will likely work fine most of the time
but it's not correct.

One alternative is to fix this this by changing the test to:

if (list_entry_is_head(tst, &test_upload_list, node)) {

But the simpler, trendy new way is just create a new variable and test
for NULL.
