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.

+ * wq_stall - Test module for the workqueue stall detector.
+ *
+ * Deliberately creates a workqueue stall so the watchdog fires and
+ * prints diagnostic output.  Useful for verifying that the stall
+ * detector correctly identifies stuck workers and produces useful
+ * backtraces.
+ *
+ * The stall is triggered by clearing PF_WQ_WORKER before sleeping,
+ * which hides the worker from the concurrency manager.  A second
+ * work item queued on the same pool then sits in the worklist with
+ * no worker available to process it.
+ *
+ * After ~30s the workqueue watchdog fires:
+ *   BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=N ...
+ *
+ * Build:
+ *	make -C <kernel tree> M=samples/workqueue/stall_detector modules
