CVE-2022-50576
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: pch: Fix PCI device refcount leak in pch_request_dma()
As comment of pci_get_slot() says, it returns a pci_device with its
refcount increased. The caller must decrement the reference count by
calling pci_dev_put().
Since 'dma_dev' is only used to filter the channel in filter(), we can
call pci_dev_put() before exiting from pch_request_dma(). Add the
missing pci_dev_put() for the normal and error path.
