Ideally at the time dmaengine_result is used (at tx completion callback)
there should be nothing in flight ;)

The reason why it is added to dma_tx_state is that clients can check at
any time while the DMA is running the number of cached bytes.
Audio needs this for cyclic and UART also needs to know it.
