Subject: [PATCH v1 4/7] dmaengine: tegra-apb: Prevent race conditions of tasklet vs free list

The interrupt handler puts a half-completed DMA descriptor on a free list
and then schedules tasklet to process bottom half of the descriptor that
executes client's callback, this creates possibility to pick up the busy
descriptor from the free list. Thus let's disallow descriptor's re-use
until it is fully processed.
