Subject: [PATCH v2 10/32] dmaengine: at_hdmac: Fix concurrency over the active list

The tasklet (atc_advance_work()) did not held the channel lock when
retrieving the first active descriptor, causing concurrency problems if
issue_pending() was called in between. If issue_pending() was called
exactly after the lock was released in the tasklet (atc_advance_work()),
atc_chain_complete() could complete a descriptor for which the controller
has not yet raised an interrupt.
