[ Upstream commit 7dd2dd4ff9f3abda601f22b9d01441a0869d20d7 ]
When user calls dmaengine_terminate_sync, the driver will clean up any
remaining descriptors for all the pending or active transfers that had
previously been submitted. However, this might happen whilst the tasklet is
invoking the DMA callback for the last finished transfer, so by the time it
returns and takes over the channel's spinlock, the list of completed
descriptors it was traversing is no longer valid. This leads to a
read-after-free situation.
Fix it by signalling whether a user-triggered termination has happened by
means of a boolean variable.
