Current cleanup paths have a use-after-free vulnerability:
- vchan_init() creates tasklets that access at_dma_chan memory
- free_irq() only waits for IRQ handler, NOT tasklets
- atdma is devm-managed and freed after probe/remove
- Running tasklets accessing freed memory → Use-After-Free!
The fix requires careful ordering:
- free_irq() FIRST to synchronize with running IRQ handlers and prevent
them from scheduling new tasklets
- Then kill tasklets to wait for already-scheduled ones to complete
- Only then free other resources

Change in v2:
- Fix NULL pointer dereference in probe error path by checking if channels list is initialized before cleanup
- Fix race condition by calling free_irq() before tasklet_kill() to ensure
IRQ handlers cannot reschedule tasklets after cleanup
---
Change in v3:
- Reorder probe error path to match remove() cleanup order
- Keep defensive NULL check for channels cleanup
- Remove unused variables in at_dma_remove()
- Ensure consistent order: free_irq → cleanup_channels → dma_pool_destroy
