[PATCH] dmaengine: k3dma: fix potential deadlock on &d->lock

[Chengfeng Ye]

As &d->lock is acquired by the tasklet k3_dma_tasklet() under softirq
context, other process context code acquring the lock should disable
irq or at least bottom-half irq. The dma terminate callback
k3_dma_terminate_all() and pause callback k3_dma_transfer_pause()
acquire the same lock but without closing irq.

I am not sure whether the two callbacks are already irq close in the
core, if not, then it would have the following deadlocks. But I saw
a spin_lock_irq() or another lock inside the terminate callback so
I guess not.

Possible deadlock scenario:
k3_dma_transfer_pause()
    -> spin_lock(&d->lock)
        <tasklet interrupt>
        -> k3_dma_tasklet()
        -> spin_lock_irq(&d->lock) (deadlock here)

This flaw was found using an experimental static analysis tool we are
developing for irq-related deadlock.

The tentative patch fix the potential deadlock by spin_lock_irqsave(),
or it can be spin_lock_bh() if should be fixed?
