Racing conflict could be:
task A task B
list_for_each_entry
strcmp(h->name))
list_for_each_entry
strcmp(h->name)
kzalloc kzalloc
...... .....
device_create device_create
list_add
list_add
The root cause is that task B has no idea about the fact someone
else(A) has inserted heap with same name when it calls list_add,
so a potential collision occurs.

v1->v2: Narrow down locking scope, check the existence of heap before
insertion, as suggested by Andrew Davis.
v2->v3: Remove double checking.
Fixes: c02a81fba74f ("dma-buf: Add dma-buf heaps framework")
