Subject: [PATCH regression] dma-debug: fix overlap detection

Commit 0abdd7a81b7e "dma-debug: introduce debug_dma_assert_idle()" was
reworked to expand the overlap counter to the full range expressable by
3 tag bits, but it has a thinko in treating the overlap counter as a
pure reference count for the entry.

Instead of deleting when the reference-count drops to zero, we need to
delete when the overlap-count drops below zero.  Also, when detecting
overflow we can just test the overlap-count > MAX rather than applying
special meaning to 0.

This patch, now tested on the original net_dma case, sees the expected
handful of reports before the eventual data corruption occurs.
