dmaengine: imx-sdma: Fix a possible memory leak in sdma_transfer_init
[ Upstream commit 1417f59ac0b02130ee56c0c50794b9b257be3d17 ]
If the function sdma_load_context() fails, the sdma_desc will be
freed, but the allocated desc->bd is forgot to be freed.
We already met the sdma_load_context() failure case and the log as
below:
[ 450.699064] imx-sdma 30bd0000.dma-controller: Timeout waiting for CH0 ready
...
In this case, the desc->bd will not be freed without this change.
