Subject: [PATCH v7 12/19] dmaengine: tegra-apb: Remove handling of unrealistic error condition

The pending_sg_req list can't ever be empty because:

1. If it was empty, then handle_cont_sngl_cycle_dma_done() shall crash
   before of handle_continuous_head_request() invocation.

2. The handle_cont_sngl_cycle_dma_done() can't happen after stopping DMA.
