dmaengine: fix use-after-free in dma_chan_put() and dma_release_channel()grafted

When dma_device_put() drops the last reference on chan->device->ref,
dma_device_release() runs and may free the dma_device along with its
channels.

dma_chan_put() then still reads chan->device->owner via
dma_chan_to_owner() for the trailing module_put(). KASAN catches it:

	slab-use-after-free in dma_chan_put+0x3e6/0x4c0
	Read of size 8 by task insmod/6319
	Freed by task 6319:
	  kfree+0x225/0x470
	  dma_chan_put+0x395/0x4c0
	  dmaengine_put+0xf8/0x160

Cache the module owner in dma_chan_put() before the put so the trailing
module_put() does not need chan->device.

+Recoverable Hardware Error Tracking in vmcoreinfo
+=================================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This feature provides a generic infrastructure within the Linux kernel to track
+and log recoverable hardware errors. These are hardware recoverable errors
+visible that might not cause immediate panics but may influence health, mainly
+because new code path will be executed in the kernel.
+
+By recording counts and timestamps of recoverable errors into the vmcoreinfo
+crash dump notes, this infrastructure aids post-mortem crash analysis tools in
+correlating hardware events with kernel failures. This enables faster triage
+and better understanding of root causes, especially in large-scale cloud
+environments where hardware issues are common.
+
+Benefits
+--------
+
+- Facilitates correlation of hardware recoverable errors with kernel panics or
+  unusual code paths that lead to system crashes.
+- Provides operators and cloud providers quick insights, improving reliability
+  and reducing troubleshooting time.
+- Complements existing full hardware diagnostics without replacing them.
+
+Data Exposure and Consumption
+-----------------------------
+
+- The tracked error data consists of per-error-type counts and timestamps of
+  last occurrence.
+- This data is stored in the `hwerror_data` array, categorized by error source
+  types like CPU, memory, PCI, CXL, and others.
+- It is exposed via vmcoreinfo crash dump notes and can be read using tools
+  like `crash`, `drgn`, or other kernel crash analysis utilities.
+- There is no other way to read these data other than from crash dumps.
+- These errors are divided by area, which includes CPU, Memory, PCI, CXL and
+  others.
+
+Typical usage example (in drgn REPL):
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    >>> prog['hwerror_data']
+    (struct hwerror_info[HWERR_RECOV_MAX]){
+        {
+            .count = (int)844,
+            .timestamp = (time64_t)1752852018,
+        },
+        ...
+    }
+
+Enabling
+--------
+
+- This feature is enabled when CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is set.
