Is this completion used anywhere?

As 'mchan' contains the tx descriptor, I don't know why you feel that you
need to copy these.

Calling the callback from interrupt context is not on.

2/ Specify a completion callback.  The callback routine runs in tasklet
   context if the offload engine driver supports interrupts, or it is
   called in application context if the operation is carried out
   synchronously in software.

That can be found in Documentation/crypto/async-tx-api.txt and applies
to all DMA engine implementations (which is the underlying implementation
of the async-tx API.)
