Refactor the IIO dmaengine buffer code to split requesting the DMA channel from allocating the buffer. We want to be able to add a new function where the IIO device driver manages the DMA channel, so these two actions need to be separate. To do this, calling dma_request_chan() is moved from iio_dmaengine_buffer_alloc() to iio_dmaengine_buffer_setup_ext(). A new __iio_dmaengine_buffer_setup_ext() helper function is added to simplify error unwinding and will also be used by a new function in a later patch. iio_dmaengine_buffer_free() now only frees the buffer and does not release the DMA channel. A new iio_dmaengine_buffer_teardown() function is added to unwind everything done in iio_dmaengine_buffer_setup_ext(). This keeps things more symmetrical with obvious pairs alloc/free and setup/teardown. Calling dma_get_slave_caps() in iio_dmaengine_buffer_alloc() is moved so that we can avoid any gotos for error unwinding.

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 reStructuredText 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.
