switchtec_dma_alloc_chan_resources() returns directly on any later
failure, without ever freeing the descriptor rings and coherent DMA
memory it just allocated. The dmaengine core does not call
device_free_chan_resources() when device_alloc_chan_resources() fails,
so the driver has to unwind its own partial state.

The device-removed check also runs after ring_active and
comp_ring_active have already been set true, so a failure there left
the channel marked active despite alloc_chan_resources() reporting
failure.

Add an error-unwind path that disables the channel and frees the
descriptor rings on every failure after allocation. ring_active and
comp_ring_active are cleared under the same locks
switchtec_dma_free_chan_resources() already uses, since the completion
tasklet checks comp_ring_active under complete_lock before touching
the completion ring, and a stale IRQ can still be in flight when this
unwind path runs.

dmaengine: switchtec-dma: fix resource leak in alloc_chan_resources

This commit adds an error-unwind path to switchtec_dma_alloc_chan_resources()
to prevent resource leaks when channel initialization fails. It ensures
descriptor rings are freed and the channel is disabled and marked inactive
on error.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but is there a pre-existing race
condition here between channel allocation and device removal?

During device unbind or hot-unplug, switchtec_dma_remove() calls
switchtec_dma_chans_release(), which frees the channel IRQs and kills
tasklets, then clears swdma_dev->pdev:

drivers/dma/switchtec_dma.c:switchtec_dma_remove() {
    ...
    switchtec_dma_chans_release(pdev, swdma_dev);
    rcu_assign_pointer(swdma_dev->pdev, NULL);
    synchronize_rcu();
    pci_free_irq(pdev, swdma_dev->chan_status_irq, swdma_dev);
    pci_free_irq_vectors(pdev);
    dma_async_device_unregister(&swdma_dev->dma_dev);
}

Because dma_async_device_unregister() happens much later, a concurrent
client calling dma_request_chan() can still invoke
switchtec_dma_alloc_chan_resources(). If this executes before
swdma_dev->pdev is set to NULL, it successfully allocates the channel and
sets ring_active = true, unaware that the IRQ and tasklet were already
destroyed.

Could this cause the client to hang waiting for a freed IRQ, or trigger a
system crash due to unmapped memory access when switchtec_dma_remove()
subsequently unmaps the hardware registers?
