Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dmaengine: fsl-edma: Fix NULL pointer exception in fsl_edma_tx_handler

NULL pointer exception happens occasionally on serial output initiated
by login timeout.  This was reproduced only if kernel was built with
significant debugging options and EDMA driver is used with serial
console.

    col-vf50 login: root
    Password:
    Login timed out after 60 seconds.
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000044

Issue looks like race condition between interrupt handler fsl_edma_tx_handler()
(called as result of fsl_edma_xfer_desc()) and terminating the transfer with
fsl_edma_terminate_all().

The fsl_edma_tx_handler() handles interrupt for a transfer with already freed
edesc and idle==true.
