watchdog: avoid usage of iterator after loop

If potentially no valid element is found, 'p' would contain an invalid
pointer past the iterator loop. To ensure 'p' is valid under any
circumstances, the kfree() should be within the loop body.

Additionally, Linus proposed to avoid any use of the list iterator
variable after the loop, in the attempt to move the list iterator
variable declaration into the macro to avoid any potential misuse after
the loop [1].
