[PATCH] dmaengine: bcm2835-dma: Convert to use DMA pool

f93178291712 dmaengine: bcm2835-dma: Fix memory leak when stopping a
running transfer

Fixed the memleak, but introduced another issue: the terminate_all callback
might be called with interrupts disabled and the dma_free_coherent() is
not allowed to be called when IRQs are disabled.
Convert the driver to use dma_pool_* for managing the list of control
blocks for the transfer.

Hi,

It was brought to my attention that the memleak fix broke the bcm2835 DMA. I did
not noticed the use of dma_free_coherent() in the driver when I did the memleak
fix.
Since the driver does leaking memory every time the audio is stopped, the other
option is to convert it to use DMA pool.
I do not have access the Raspberry Pi, so I can not test this patch but it
compiles ;)
Can someone test this one outif it is working?

Regards,
Peter
