Title
dmaengine: idxd: Fix leaking event log memory
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: idxd: Fix leaking event log memory
During the device remove process, the device is reset, causing the
configuration registers to go back to their default state, which is
zero. As the driver is checking if the event log support was enabled
before deallocating, it will fail if a reset happened before.
Do not check if the support was enabled, the check for 'idxd->evl'
being valid (only allocated if the HW capability is available) is
enough.
