[PATCH RESEND] dmaengine: pl330: Fix data race on TX transferred bytes reporting

When a transfer completes there is a small window between the descriptor
being unset as the current active one in the thread and it being marked
as done. This causes the residue to be incorrectly set and the
corresponding size to be wrongly reported when pl330_tx_status is run in
that window. This can be reproduced in different ways, the main we have
found is with audio playback when the system load is high. When the
residue goes up during a transfer, it makes the audio ringbuffer wrapped
around and thus does a sudden jump forward. It can also be detected by
sudden sound disruptions.

This bug was partially solved by commit a40235a2278a ("dmaengine: pl330:
Acquire dmac's spinlock in pl330_tx_status"), as it reduces the window
where it can happen, but the issue still exists.

This patch is a re-worked version of the one wrote by Sjoerd Simons
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7568251.

Note: Due to an email configuration issue, some of my patches were not
received on infradead.org or vger.kernel.org. It is now fixed, so I
resend this patch for this reason.
