Subject: [PATCH] mm: dmapool: fix possible use after free in
 dmam_pool_destroy()

"dma_pool_destroy(pool)" calls "kfree(pool)". The freed pointer "pool"
is again passed as an argument to the function "devres_destroy()".
This patch fixes the possible use after free.

Please let me know your comments.
