[PATCH v2 3/4] fsl-dma: change the release process of dma descriptor

Modify the release process of dma descriptor for avoiding exception when
enable config NET_DMA, release dma descriptor from 1st to last second, the
last descriptor which is reserved in current descriptor register may not be
completed, race condition will be raised if free current descriptor.

A race condition which is raised when use both of talitos and dmaengine to
offload xor is because napi scheduler (NET_DMA is enabled) will sync all
pending requests in dma channels, it affects the process of raid operations.
The descriptor is freed which is submitted just now, but async_tx must check
whether this depend tx descriptor is acked, there are poison contents in the
invalid address, then BUG_ON() is thrown, so this descriptor will be freed
in the next time.
