[PATCH v4] dma-buf: fix racing conflict of dma_heap_add()

Racing conflict could be:
task A                 task B
list_for_each_entry
strcmp(h->name))
                       list_for_each_entry
                       strcmp(h->name)
kzalloc                kzalloc
......                 .....
device_create          device_create
list_add
                       list_add

The root cause is that task B has no idea about the fact someone
else(A) has inserted heap with same name when it calls list_add,
so a potential collision occurs.

v1->v2: Narrow down locking scope, check the existence of heap before
insertion, as suggested by Andrew Davis.
v2->v3: Remove double checking.
v3->v4: Minor coding style and patch formatting adjustment.
