[PATCH] dmaengine: xgene-dma: Remove memcpy offload support due to performance drop

[Rameshwar Prasad Sahu]

The DMA engine supports memory copy, RAID5 XOR, RAID6 PQ, and other
computations. But the bandwidth of the entire DMA engine is shared
among all channels. This patch re-configures operations availability
such that one can achieve maximum performance for XOR and PQ
computation by removing the memory offload operations.
