[PATCH] rapidio/mport_cdev: Fix race in mport_cdev_release()

From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@xxxxxxxxx>

While get_dma_channel() is protected against concurrent calls, there is a
race against kref_put() in mport_cdev_release():

CPU0 CPU1

get_dma_channel()
kref_init(&priv->md->dma_ref);
...
mport_cdev_release_dma()
kref_put(&md->dma_ref,
mport_release_def_dma);
get_dma_channel()
if (priv->md->dma_chan) {
...
kref_get(&priv->md->dma_ref);
mport_release_def_dma()
md->dma_chan = NULL;

which may appear like this:
