MHI EP stack makes use of the MHI controller drivers like MHI EPF to do read/write to the host memory. And that driver is free to use mechanisms like DMA to offload the read/write operations. So if DMA is used for offload, then there is no guarantee that those DMA operations would be completed by the time mhi_ep_remove() gets called. This can lead to UAF (Use-After-Free) issues as the DMA callback can trigger xfer_cb() even after mhi_ep_remove() has returned. So to fix this issue, introduce the mhi_cntrl->flush_async() callback and call it in mhi_ep_remove() before setting xfer_cb to NULL. Note that flush_async() blocks until all the in-flight async transfers are completed, so calling it with the chan->lock held would needlessly stall the transfer paths on that channel for the whole duration of the drain. So drop chan->lock around the flush and clear xfer_cb() only afterwards, once all the pending completions are drained.
