[PATCH] dma: dw-axi-dmac: fix null dereference when pointer first is null

[PATCH] dma: dw-axi-dmac: fix null dereference when pointer first is null

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

In the unlikely event that axi_desc_get returns a null desc in the
very first iteration of the while-loop the error exit path ends
up calling axi_desc_put on a null pointer 'first' and this causes
a null pointer dereference.  Fix this by adding a null check on
pointer 'first' before calling axi_desc_put.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Explicit null dereference")
fixes: 1fe20f1b8454 ("dmaengine: Introduce DW AXI DMAC driver")
