qcacmn: Remove membership check from list APIs

Getting the next node of a linked list should be a O(1) operation.
qdf_list_peek_next, however, iterates though the list first, checking
for node membership, before returning the next node. This makes the O(1)
operation a O(n) operation instead. Code that uses this API for list
traversal inadvertently performs a O(n^2) operation, causing unexpected
performance issues. Similar problems exist for qdf_list_remove_node as
well. Remove the membership checks in qdf_list_peek_next and
qdf_list_remove_node to prevent unexpected performance penalties.
