In dma_async_device_register, in the loop
list_for_each_entry(chan, &device->channels, device_node).
If __dma_async_device_channel_register(device, chan) failed
and it colud free chan->local and return err.

But in the err_out branch, it will free chan->local again.
My patch sets chan->local to NULL after it is freed in
__dma_async_device_channel_register().
