From: Qiang Liu <qiang.liu at freescale.com>

Fix the potential risk when enable config NET_DMA and ASYNC_TX.
Async_tx is lack of support in current release process of dma descriptor,
all descriptors will be released whatever is acked or no-acked by async_tx,
so there is a potential race condition when dma engine is uesd by others
clients (e.g. when enable NET_DMA to offload TCP).

In our case, a race condition which is raised when use both of talitos
and dmaengine to offload xor is because napi scheduler will sync all
pending requests in dma channels, it affects the process of raid operations
due to ack_tx is not checked in fsl dma. The no-acked descriptor is freed
which is submitted just now, as a dependent tx, this freed descriptor trigger
BUG_ON(async_tx_test_ack(depend_tx)) in async_tx_submit().

Another major modification in this patch is the change to completed descriptors,
there is a potential risk which caused by exception interrupt, all descriptors
in ld_running list are seemed completed when an interrupt raised, it works fine
under normal condition, but if there is an exception occured, it cannot work
as our excepted. Hardware should not depend on s/w list, the right way is
to read current descriptor address register to find the last completed
descriptor. If an interrupt is raised by an error, all descriptors in ld_running
should not be seemed finished, or these unfinished descriptors in ld_running
will be released wrongly.

A simple way to reproduce,
Enable dmatest first, then insert some bad descriptors which can trigger
Programming Error interrupts before the good descriptors. Last, the good
descriptors will be freed before they are processsed because of the exception
intrerrupt.

Note: the bad descriptors are only for simulating an exception interrupt.
This case can illustrate the potential risk in current fsl-dma very well.
