Should this hunk be broken off and sent to -stable?  My guess is no.
It should be mostly impossible to trigger a problem here since the
channel is expected to be idle while resources are being allocated and
the dmaengine mutex is already protecting against parallel
allocations.  It is an unrelated fix however.
