Subject: [PATCH] dma: k3-udma - fix potential null dereference in
 k3_udma_glue_request_rx_chn_priv()

In k3_udma_glue_request_rx_chn_priv(), the pointer rx_chn->flows is
compared to NULL, but then passed to k3_udma_glue_release_rx_chn().
There it is dereferenced unconditionally after being passed to
k3_udma_glue_release_rx_flow() in a for loop. This happens because
rx_chn->flow_num is set before successful allocation.

This patch sets rx_chn->flow_num only after rx_chn->flows is
successfully allocated, which prevents the for loop from running if
allocation fails.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: d70241913413 ("dmaengine: ti: k3-udma: Add glue layer for non DMAengine users")
