Check for error and NULL before attempting to release DMA channel.

This, otherwise, was causing panic and crash in kernel when the
dma_chan has an invalid value. The condition occurs during init_dma()
when the dma_request_chan() function returns an error.

Fixes: fcc8a89a1c83 ("i2c: tegra: Share same DMA channel for RX and TX")

There's already another patch on the list that should address this:

	https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-tegra/patch/20230707132619.2998382-1-thierry.reding@gmail.com/

Can you please test and provide feedback on that one?

Thanks,
Thierry

Correct. This can be discarded.
