[PATCH] fsldma: snooping is not enabled for last entry in descriptor chain

On the 83xx controller, snooping is necessary for the DMA controller to
ensure cache coherence with the CPU when transferring to/from RAM.

The last descriptor in a chain will always have the End-of-Chain interrupt
bit set, so we can set the snoop bit while adding the End-of-Chain
interrupt bit.

While working on adding the DMA_SLAVE feature, I noticed that the last
descriptor in a chain does not have the snoop bits enabled.

This is easily verified by doing the following:
1) set FSL_DMA_BCR_MAX_CNT = (1 << 18)
2) #define DEBUG 1
3) #define FSL_DMA_LD_DEBUG 1
4) setup a 1MB memcpy operation

The memcpy must be set up on an idle channel, and must be submitted
without any other transactions. dma_async_memcpy_issue_pending() must be
called without queueing any more transactions. You will see that the
snoop bit (bit 4) is not set in the last descriptor.
