    dmaengine: fix NULL pointer in channel unregistration function
    
    [ Upstream commit f5c24d94512f1b288262beda4d3dcb9629222fc7 ]
    
    __dma_async_device_channel_register() can fail. In case of failure,
    chan->local is freed (with free_percpu()), and chan->local is nullified.
    When dma_async_device_unregister() is called (because of managed API or
    intentionally by DMA controller driver), channels are unconditionally
    unregistered, leading to this NULL pointer:
    [    1.318693] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000d0
    [...]
    [    1.484499] Call trace:
    [    1.486930]  device_del+0x40/0x394
    [    1.490314]  device_unregister+0x20/0x7c
    [    1.494220]  __dma_async_device_channel_unregister+0x68/0xc0
    
    Look at dma_async_device_register() function error path, channel device
    unregistration is done only if chan->local is not NULL.
    
    Then add the same condition at the beginning of
    __dma_async_device_channel_unregister() function, to avoid NULL pointer
    issue whatever the API used to reach this function.
