Subject: CVE-2024-46716: dmaengine: altera-msgdma: properly free descriptor in msgdma_free_descriptor

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dmaengine: altera-msgdma: properly free descriptor in msgdma_free_descriptor

Remove list_del call in msgdma_chan_desc_cleanup, this should be the role
of msgdma_free_descriptor. In consequence replace list_add_tail with
list_move_tail in msgdma_free_descriptor.

This fixes the path:
   msgdma_free_chan_resources -> msgdma_free_descriptors ->
   msgdma_free_desc_list -> msgdma_free_descriptor

which does not correctly free the descriptors as first nodes were not
removed from the list.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-46716 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
