The submission path for dmaengine API does not do descriptor freeing on failure. Also, with the abort mechanism, the freeing of descriptor happens when the abort callback is completed. Therefore free descriptor on all error paths for submission call to make things consistent. Also remove the double free that would happen on abort in idxd_dma_tx_submit() call.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
