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.

+# Head objects
+#
+# The objects listed here are placed at the head of vmlinux. A typical use-case
+# is an object that contains the entry point. This is kept for compatibility
+# with head-y, which Kbuild used to support.
+#
+# A counter approach is to control the section placement by the linker script.
+# The code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section, which is placed
+# before the normal ".text" section.
+#
+# If you can achieve the correct code ordering by linker script, please delete
+# the entry from this file.
