Subject: [PATCH 15/16] dmaengine: add transfered member to dma_async_tx_descriptor

In USB RX path it is possible that the we receive less bytes than
requested. Take the following example:
The driver for USB-to-UART submits an URB with 256 bytes in size and the
dmaengine driver in turn programs a transfer of 256 bytes. The transfer
is programmed and the dma engine waits for the data to arrive. Once data
is sent on the UART the dma engine begins to move data. If there was
only one data byte in the USB packet received then the DMA engine will
only move one byte due to USB restrictions / rules. The real size of the
transfer has to be notified to the user / caller so he set this to the
caller.
This patch adds the transfered member to the dma_async_tx_descriptor
where the caller can obtain the final size.
