Subject: [PATCH 1/4 v2] dmaengine: add a tx_free method to struct
 dma_async_tx_descriptor

From: Guennadi Liakhovetski <lg@...x.de>

Some users reuse DMA transaction descriptors multiple times and need an
explicit call to release them. An example of such a user is Video4Linux, which
has to be able to release descriptors on ioctl(VIDIOC_DQBUF).
