[PATCH] soc: soc-dapm: fix two incorrect uses of list iterator

These two bug are here:
	list_for_each_entry_safe_continue(w, n, list,
					power_list);
	list_for_each_entry_safe_continue(w, n, list,
					power_list);

After the list_for_each_entry_safe_continue() exits, the list iterator
will always be a bogus pointer which point to an invalid struct objdect
containing HEAD member. The funciton poniter 'w->event' will be a
invalid value which can lead to a control-flow hijack if the 'w' can be
controlled.

The original intention was to break the outer list_for_each_entry_safe()
loop if w->event is NULL, but forgot to *break* switch statement first.
So just add a break to fix the bug.
