[PATCH] dmaengine: pl330: Fix race in residue reporting

[Sjoerd Simons]

When a transfer completes there is a small window between the descriptor
being unset as the current active one in the thread and it being marked
as done. This causes the residue to be incorrectly set when
pl330_tx_status is run in that window. Practically this caused
issue for me with audio playback as the residue goes up during a
transfer (as the in-progress transfer is no longer accounted for),
which makes the higher levels think the audio ringbuffer wrapped around
and thus did a sudden big jump forward.

To resolve this, add a field protected by the dma engine lock to
indicate the transfer is done but the status hasn't been updated yet.

Also fix the locking in pl330_tx_status, as the function inspects the
threads req_running field and queries the dma engine for the current
state of the running transfer the dma engine lock needs to be held to
ensure the active descriptor doesn't change underneath it.
