[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH ubus 14/16] ubusd_monitor: fix possible null pointer dereference

[Petr Štetiar]

This dereference could possibly happen if the calloc call fails as the
return value is unchecked. While at it refactor the code little bit to
make it easier to follow, use safe list iterator and provide return
value for ubusd_monitor_connect.
