dmaengine: Freescale: change descriptor release process for supporting async_tx
Fix the potential risk when enable config NET_DMA and ASYNC_TX. Async_tx is
lack of support in current release process of dma descriptor, all descriptors
will be released whatever is acked or no-acked by async_tx, so there is a
potential race condition when dma engine is uesd by others clients (e.g. when
enable NET_DMA to offload TCP).
In our case, a race condition which is raised when use both of talitos and
dmaengine to offload xor is because napi scheduler will sync all pending
requests in dma channels, it affects the process of raid operations due to
ack_tx is not checked in fsl dma. The no-acked descriptor is freed which is
submitted just now, as a dependent tx, this freed descriptor trigger
BUG_ON(async_tx_test_ack(depend_tx)) in async_tx_submit().

Another modification in this patch is the change of completed descriptors,
there is a potential risk which caused by exception interrupt, all descriptors
in ld_running list are seemed completed when an interrupt raised, it works fine
under normal condition, but if there is an exception occured, it cannot work as
our excepted. Hardware should not be depend on s/w list, the right way is to
read current descriptor address register to find the last completed descriptor.
If an interrupt is raised by an error, all descriptors in ld_running should not
be seemed finished, or these unfinished descriptors in ld_running will be
released wrongly.
A simple way to reproduce:
Enable dmatest first, then insert some bad descriptors which can trigger
Programming Error interrupts before the good descriptors. Last, the good
descriptors will be freed before they are processsed because of the exception
intrerrupt.
Note: the bad descriptors are only for simulating an exception interrupt. This
case can illustrate the potential risk in current fsl-dma very well.
