Subject: [PATCH 1/1] dmaengine: dw: resolve recursion lock when audio playback

when audio playback is running, user space will call
snd_pcm_lib_write1() function, it will first get pcm stream lock,
after that it may call function snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr(), the call
stack will be as below:
  snd_pcm_lib_write1  <-- got pcm stream lock
   --> snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr
     --> dwc_tx_status
      --> dwc_scan_descriptors
       --> callback
        --> dmaengine_pcm_dma_complete
         --> snd_pcm_period_elapsed <-- get stream lock again
recursion lock occurs in snd_pcm_period_elapsed function.
remove dwc_scan_descriptors from dwc_tx_status can fix this issue.
