dmaengine: Fix possible use after free

In dmareleasechannel(), check chan->device->privatecnt after call dmachanput(). However, dmachanput() call dmadeviceput() which could release the last reference of the device if the DMA provider is already gone and hence free it.

Fixes it by moving dmachanput() after the check.
