dmaengine: mediatek: Fix a possible deadlock error in mtk_cqdma_tx_status()



[ Upstream commit 157ae5ffd76a2857ccb4b7ce40bc5a344ca00395 ]

Fix a potential deadlock bug. Observe that in the mtk-cqdma.c
file, functions like mtk_cqdma_issue_pending() and
mtk_cqdma_free_active_desc() properly acquire the pc lock before the vc
lock when handling pc and vc fields. However, mtk_cqdma_tx_status()
violates this order by first acquiring the vc lock before invoking
mtk_cqdma_find_active_desc(), which subsequently takes the pc lock. This
reversed locking sequence (vc → pc) contradicts the established
pc → vc order and creates deadlock risks.

Fix the issue by moving the vc lock acquisition code from
mtk_cqdma_find_active_desc() to mtk_cqdma_tx_status(). Ensure the pc lock
is acquired before the vc lock in the calling function to maintain correct
locking hierarchy. Note that since mtk_cqdma_find_active_desc() is a
static function with only one caller (mtk_cqdma_tx_status()), this
modification safely eliminates the deadlock possibility without affecting
other components.

This possible bug is found by an experimental static analysis tool
developed by our team. This tool analyzes the locking APIs to extract
function pairs that can be concurrently executed, and then analyzes the
instructions in the paired functions to identify possible concurrency bugs
including deadlocks, data races and atomicity violations.
