Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] dmaengine: pl330: Fix NULL pointer dereference on probe
 failure

If dma_async_device_register() returns error and probe should clean up
and return error, a NULL pointer exception happens because of
dereference of not allocated channel thread:

---[ end trace c94b2f4f38dff3bf ]---

This happens because the necessary resources were not yet allocated - no
call to pl330_alloc_chan_resources().

Terminate the thread and free channel resource only if channel thread is not NULL.
