If `labpc_attach()` allocates memory for `devpriv->dma_buffer` but fails to request a DMA channel, it frees `devpriv->dma_buffer` but leaves the pointer set. Later, `labpc_detach()` frees `devpriv->dma_buffer` again, which means it has been freed twice in this case. Fix it by only setting `devpriv->dma_buffer` in `labpc_attach()` if the DMA channel was requested successfully.
