block: fix elevator_get_by_features()
The lookup logic is broken - 'e' will never be NULL, even if the list is empty. Maintain lookup hit in a separate variable instead. Fixes: a0958ba7fcdc ("block: Improve default elevator selection") Reported-by: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
