[PATCH 5.4 23/80] rpmsg: glink: Fix use after free in open_ack TIMEOUT case

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Arun Kumar Neelakantam <aneela@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ac74ea01860170699fb3b6ea80c0476774c8e94f upstream.

Extra channel reference put when remote sending OPEN_ACK after timeout
causes use-after-free while handling next remote CLOSE command.

Remove extra reference put in timeout case to avoid use-after-free.

Fixes: b4f8e52b89f6 ("rpmsg: Introduce Qualcomm RPM glink driver")
