CVE-2024-46716

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dmaengine: altera-msgdma: properly free descriptor in msgdma_free_descriptor

Remove list_del call in msgdma_chan_desc_cleanup, this should be the role
of msgdma_free_descriptor. In consequence replace list_add_tail with
list_move_tail in msgdma_free_descriptor.

This fixes the path:
   msgdma_free_chan_resources -> msgdma_free_descriptors ->
   msgdma_free_desc_list -> msgdma_free_descriptor

which does not correctly free the descriptors as first nodes were not
removed from the list.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
