[PATCH] tty: serial: samsung: use dmaengine_terminate_sync() in release_dma

[Samarth Narang <samarth.colleges@gmail.com>]

s3c24xx_serial_release_dma() stops the RX and TX DMA channels using the
deprecated dmaengine_terminate_all() before unmapping their buffers and
freeing the RX buffer. Since this does not guarantee that DMA transfers
or their completion callbacks have finished, the controller may continue
accessing memory after it has been unmapped or returned to the
allocator, particularly when the port is shut down while RX DMA is
active.

Replace dmaengine_terminate_all() with dmaengine_terminate_sync() to
ensure that outstanding DMA activity is terminated before the buffers
are released. Both callers of s3c24xx_serial_release_dma() run in
process context, where synchronous termination is permitted.

This issue was identified by a research static analyzer for DMA
lifecycle ordering and has not been validated on hardware. The patch has
only been compile-tested on arm64 with W=1.

On Exynos systems, the UART uses PL330, which does not implement a
device_synchronize callback, so this change follows the DMAengine API
contract without independently establishing that all hardware activity
has stopped. The PL330 termination behavior is being raised separately
with the DMAengine maintainers.

Two related questions outside the scope of this patch:

- s3c24xx_serial_rx_dma_complete() unconditionally re-arms RX DMA,
  potentially racing with release_dma() and submitting another
  descriptor after termination. Should shutdown prevent further
  submissions before terminating the channel?
- s3c24xx_serial_stop_rx() calls dmaengine_pause(dma->tx_chan) before
  checking the RX channel's residue. Should this instead use
  dma->rx_chan?
