Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] dmaengine: at_xdmac: remove BUG_ON macro in tasklet

Even if this case shouldn't happen when controller is properly programmed,
it's still better to avoid dumping a kernel Oops for this.
As the sequence may happen only for debugging purposes, log the error and
just finish the tasklet call.
