CVE-2023-52516 dma-debug: don't call __dma_entry_alloc_check_leak() under free_entries_lock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dma-debug: don't call __dma_entry_alloc_check_leak() under free_entries_lock

__dma_entry_alloc_check_leak() calls into printk -> serial console
output (qcom geni) and grabs port->lock under free_entries_lock
spin lock, which is a reverse locking dependency chain as qcom_geni
IRQ handler can call into dma-debug code and grab free_entries_lock
under port->lock.

Move __dma_entry_alloc_check_leak() call out of free_entries_lock
scope so that we don't acquire serial console's port->lock under it.

Trimmed-down lockdep splat:

 The existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
