[PATCH 4/7] S3C64XX DMA: S3C2410_DMAF_CIRCULAR disable

S3C2410_DMAF_CIRCULAR requires that we don't free buffer
resources after TC-IRQ because we will revisit the buffer.
During simple long term playback/capture, like movie-play,
this may block those resources(kmem/dma_pool) unncessarily.
This is especially a problem since we allocate them in IRQ
context.
For now, we disable the option and free buff resources after
it's TC-IRQ. Also, chan->curr will point to the active buffer
while chan->next is rendered useless.
