Subject: [PATCH v0 1/2] DMA: fsldma: Disable DMA_INTERRUPT when Async_tx enabled

This patch disables the use of DMA_INTERRUPT capability with Async_tx

The fsldma produces a null transfer with DMA_INTERRUPT
capability when used with Async_tx. When RAID devices queue
a transaction via Async_tx, this  results in a hang.
