CVE-2023-53014

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: tegra: Fix memory leak in terminate_all() Terminate vdesc when terminating an ongoing transfer. This will ensure that the vdesc is present in the desc_terminated list The descriptor will be freed later in desc_free_list(). This fixes the memory leaks which can happen when terminating an ongoing transfer.
