Subject: [PATCH v4 38/47] soc: fsl: qe: refactor cpm_muram_alloc_common to prevent BUG on error path

If the kmalloc() fails, we try to undo the gen_pool allocation we've
just done. Unfortunately, start has already been modified to subtract
the GENPOOL_OFFSET bias, so we're freeing something that very likely
doesn't exist in the gen_pool, meaning we hit the

 kernel BUG at lib/genalloc.c:399!
 Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
 ...
 [<803fd0e8>] (gen_pool_free) from [<80426bc8>] (cpm_muram_alloc_common+0xb0/0xc8)
 [<80426bc8>] (cpm_muram_alloc_common) from [<80426c28>] (cpm_muram_alloc+0x48/0x80)

 [<80428214>] (ucc_slow_init) from [<8044a718>] (qe_uart_request_port+0x3c/0x1d8)

(this was tested by just injecting a random failure by adding
"|| (get_random_int()&7) == 0" to the "if (!entry)" condition).

Refactor the code so we do the kmalloc() first, meaning that's the
thing that needs undoing in case gen_pool_alloc_algo() then
fails. This allows a later cleanup to move the locking from the
callers into the _common function, keeping the kmalloc() out of the
critical region and then, hopefully (if all the muram_alloc callers
allow) change it to a GFP_KERNEL allocation.
