[PATCH] dmaengine: pl330: Fix linker error "undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'"

32-bit ARM kernels may have a 64-bit dma_addr_t but have no
implementation of the compiler helper for 64-bit unsigned division,
therefore the use of the modulo operator in pl330_prep_dma_memcpy causes
the link error "undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'"

As the burst value is always a power of two we can fix the problem, and
make the code more efficient, by replacing "% burst" with "& (burst-1)".

Vinod. I haven't added a 'Fixes:' line because I was unsure if the patch
in linux-next is part of a stable branch or if the SHA1 might change
before hitting mainline. If it stable then the line should be...
