[PATCH] hw/dma: fix crash caused by race condition

[PATCH] hw/dma: fix crash caused by race condition

[Tong Zhang]

assert(dbs->acb) is meant to check the return value of io_func per
documented in commit 6bee44ea34 ("dma: the passed io_func does not
return NULL"). However, there is a chance that after calling
aio_context_release(dbs->ctx); the dma_blk_cb function is called before
the assertion and dbs->acb is set to NULL again at line 121. Thus when
we run assert at line 181 it will fail.

  softmmu/dma-helpers.c:181: dma_blk_cb: Assertion `dbs->acb' failed.
