[PATCH 2/3] dmaengine: sun6i: Free the interrupt before killing the tasklet

There's still a small window between the call to sun6i_kill_tasklet and the end
of the driver remove function where a spurious interrupt might trigger, and
start using deallocated resources.

Replace the call to synchronize_irq by a free_irq, so that we're sure that we
won't get any further interrupts when we're deallocating resources.
