drivers/dma: Correct use after free

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

Move the kfree after the iounmap that refers to the same structure.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// 
@@
expression x,e;
identifier f;
iterator I;
statement S;
@@

*kfree(x);
... when != &x
    when != x = e
    when != I(x,...) S
*x->f
//
