3.16.47-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takatoshi Akiyama <takatoshi.akiyama.kj@ps.hitachi-solutions.com>

commit 3c9101766b502a0163d1d437fada5801cf616be2 upstream.

This patch fixes an issue that kernel panic happens when DMA is enabled
and we press enter key while the kernel booting on the serial console.

* An interrupt may occur after sci_request_irq().
* DMA transfer area is initialized by setup_timer() in sci_request_dma()
  and used in interrupt.

If an interrupt occurred between sci_request_irq() and setup_timer() in
sci_request_dma(), DMA transfer area has not been initialized yet.
So, this patch changes the order of sci_request_irq() and
sci_request_dma().

Fixes: 73a19e4c0301 ("serial: sh-sci: Add DMA support.")
