[PATCH V2 2/3] dmaengine: xilinx_dma: Enable transfer chaining for AXIDMA and MCDMA by removing idle restriction

[Suraj Gupta]

Remove the restrictive idle check in xilinx_dma_start_transfer() and
xilinx_mcdma_start_transfer() that prevented new transfers from being
queued when the channel was busy.
Additionally, only update the CURDESC register when the channel is
running in scatter-gather mode and active list is empty to avoid
interfering with transfers already in progress. When the active list
contains transfers, the hardware tail pointer extension mechanism
handles chaining automatically.
