[PATCH v2] dmaengine: sun6i: Fix potential deadlock on sdev->lock

sun6i_dma_terminate_all() and sun6i_dma_pause() acquire sdev->lock
with plain spin_lock() from process context. If a DMA interrupt fires
on the same CPU while the lock is held, the interrupt handler schedules
sun6i_dma_tasklet(), which runs in softirq context and attempts to
acquire the same lock with spin_lock_irq(), causing a deadlock.
Fix by using spin_lock_irq() to disable interrupts while holding
sdev->lock, consistent with other call sites.

Change in v2:
-Fix by using spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_irqrestore() to
disable interrupts while holding sdev->lock and properly save/restore
interrupt state.
-Fix inconsistent locking pattern in sun6i_dma_resume() and
sun6i_dma_issue_pending().
