Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] dmaengine: hisilicon: Add multi-thread support for a DMA channel

When we get a DMA channel and try to use it in multiple threads it
will cause oops and hanging the system.

This occurs because the transmission timed out, and that's due
to data race. Each thread rewrite channels's descriptor as soon as
device_issue_pending is called. It leads to the situation that
the driver thinks that it uses the right descriptor in interrupt
handler while channels's descriptor has been changed by other
thread. The descriptor which in fact reported interrupt will not
be handled any more, as well as its tx->callback.
That's why timeout reports.

With current fixes channels' descriptor changes it's value only
when it has been used. A new descriptor is acquired from
vc->desc_issued queue that is already filled with descriptors
that are ready to be sent. Threads have no direct access to DMA
channel descriptor. In case of channel's descriptor is busy, try
to submit to HW again when a descriptor is completed. In this case,
vc->desc_issued may be empty when hisi_dma_start_transfer is called,
so delete error reporting on this. Now it is just possible to queue
a descriptor for further processing.
