Subject: [PATCH 08/33] dmaengine: at_hdmac: Don't start transactions at tx_submit level

tx_submit is supposed to push the current transaction descriptor to a
pending queue, waiting for issue_pending() to be called. issue_pending()
must start the transfer, not tx_submit(), thus remove atc_dostart() from
atc_tx_submit(). Clients of at_xdmac that  assume that tx_submit() starts
the transfer must be updated and call dma_async_issue_pending() if they
miss to call it.
The vdbg print was moved to after the lock is released. It is desirable to
do the prints without the lock held if possible, and because the if
statement disappears there's no reason why to do the print while holding
the lock.
