In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element
[1].

Before, the code implicitly used the head when no element was found
when using &pos->list. Since the new variable is only set if an
element was found, the list_add() is performed within the loop
and only done after the loop if it is done on the list head directly.
