[PATCH 2/4] ARM: tegra: Prevent requeuing in-progress DMA requests

If a request already in the queue is passed to tegra_dma_enqueue_req,
tegra_dma_req.node->{next,prev} will end up pointing to itself instead
of at tegra_dma_channel.list, which is the way a the end-of-list
should be set up. When the DMA request completes and is list_del'd,
the list head will still point at it, yet the node's next/prev will
contain the list poison values. When the next DMA request completes,
a kernel panic will occur when those poison values are dereferenced.
This makes the DMA driver more robust in the face of buggy clients.
