3.11.10.6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Linus Walleij <[email protected]> commit e9baa9d9d520fb0e24cca671e430689de2d4a4b2 upstream. It appears that in the DMA40 driver the DMA tasklet will very often dereference memory for a descriptor just free:d from the DMA40 slab. Nothing happens because no other part of the driver has yet had a chance to claim this memory, but it's really nasty to dereference free:d memory, so let's check the flag before the descriptor is free and store it in a bool variable.
