Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: tegra: crash fix observed during dma client(UART) stress testing

During DMA client(UART) stress testing, observed below crash:

Issue: UART RX channel DMA completion EOC(End of completion) interrupt
occurs and dma driver schedules tasklet() to execute callback function
and empty the cb_desc (callback descriptor). Before dma driver tasklet
runs, UART RX EORD (end of receive data) interrupt occurs. Here UART RX
ISR handler calls tegra_dma_terminate_all() and re-configures the DMA
for RX. While re-configuring, the cb_node data is re-initialized but the
cb_desc list is not emptied. Now when dma driver tasklet callback function
tries to check cb_desc and delete the cb_node (re-initialized node) kernel
crashes.

Fix: Empty the cb_desc data structure during tegra_dma_terminate_all()
routine if there are no pending transfers.
