dmaengine: dmatest: warn user when dma test times out
commit a9df21e3 upstream. Commit adfa543e ("dmatest: don't use set_freezable_with_signal()") introduced a bug (that is in fact documented by the patch commit text) that leaves behind a dangling pointer. Since the done_wait structure is allocated on the stack, future invocations to the DMATEST can produce undesirable results (e.g., corrupted spinlocks). Ideally, this would be cleaned up in the thread handler, but at the very least, the kernel is left in a very precarious scenario that can lead to some long debug sessions when the crash comes later.
