loongson2_cmc_dma_prep_slave_sg() allocates the descriptor with
kzalloc_flex() before iterating over the scatterlist. If
loongson2_cmc_dma_set_xfer_param() fails inside the loop, the function
returns ERR_PTR(ret) without freeing the descriptor. At this point the
descriptor has not been handed to vchan_tx_prep() yet, so nothing else
will ever free it, leaking it on every failed ->device_prep_slave_sg()
call (e.g. an unsupported transfer direction or bus width).

The neighbouring error path for the num_items check already frees the
descriptor before returning; do the same on the set_xfer_param() failure
path.
