[PATCH] ASYNC_TX: fix the bug in async_tx_run_dependencies

From: Ilya Yanok
Date: Wed Sep 03 2008 - 18:15:05 EST


From: Yuri Tikhonov <yur@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Should clear the next pointer of the TX if we are sure that the
next TX (say NXT) will be submitted to the channel too. Overwise,
we break the chain of descriptors, because we lose the information
about the next descriptor to run. So next time, when invoke
async_tx_run_dependencies() with TX, it's TX->next will be NULL, and
NXT will be never submitted.
