https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/14768/1/src/osmo-bsc/neighbor_ident_vty.c@416 
PS1, Line 416: 		rc = gsm_bts_local_neighbor_del(bts, neigh_bts);
I feel more comfortable with the while(), but if two reviewers insist, I can change it to llist_for_each_entry_safe().

Reasoning:

I am pretty sure that each neighbor is listed only once, and always will. But assuming that implementations change, and that for some weird reason a neighbor could end up listed twice, then this gsm_bts_local_neighbor_del() should semantically remove more than one item from the list. llist_for_each_entry_safe() is only safe as long as one item gets deleted. That's why I feel more comfortable with a while() loop that always goes back to the start.

I pretty much know that this situation does not apply for this particular list and it's unlikely to ever change so that this applies. But still the while() comes from a general mistrust of llist_for_each_entry_safe() where it is not directly and trivially clear for all eternity that at most one item will be removed per iteration. Here the llist_del() is hidden in another function which might change in implementation ... (not actually, but feels safer to assume that it might)

...that's my bikeshed reason to not change this
