[PATCH 1/4] dmaengine: dmatest: Don't forcibly terminate channel in polled mode

From: Nathan Lynch <nathan.lynch@xxxxxxx>

Invoking dmaengine_terminate_sync() against the channel after each
submitted descriptor is strange. It's benign when the test is
single-threaded, but disruptive when multiple threads are submitting
descriptors to the channel concurrently:

# cd /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/
# echo 1 > polled
# echo 2 > threads_per_chan
# echo dma0chan0 > channel
# echo 1 > run
...
dmatest: Added 2 threads using dma0chan0
dmatest: Started 2 threads using dma0chan0
xilinx-zynqmp-dma ffa80000.dma: dma_sync_wait: timeout!
xilinx-zynqmp-dma ffa80000.dma: dma_sync_wait: timeout!
dmatest: dma0chan0-copy0: result #3: 'test timed out' with
src_off=0x487 dst_off=0xf8 len=0x171b (0)
dmatest: dma0chan0-copy1: result #6: 'test timed out' with
src_off=0x227d dst_off=0xf99 len=0xf7a (0)

Remove the call to dmaengine_terminate_sync() from the main thread
loop.
