[PATCH V3 2/4] dmaengine: xilinx_dma: Move descriptors to done list based on completion bit

In AXI MCDMA scatter-gather mode, xilinx_dma_complete_descriptor() walks
the channel's active_list and unconditionally moves every entry to the
done_list. The MCDMA IOC interrupt handler invokes this function on
every interrupt-on-completion, but with interrupt coalescing
(IRQThreshold > 1) an IOC interrupt may fire after only a subset of the
queued descriptors have actually been processed by the hardware. As a
result, descriptors whose completion bit is not yet set in the BD status
were being reported as completed to client drivers.

Add a check for the descriptor completion bit before moving entries from
the active list to the done list, using the appropriate direction-
specific status field (s2mm_status for DMA_DEV_TO_MEM, mm2s_status for
DMA_MEM_TO_DEV).

The MCDMA completion check is intentionally not guarded by chan->has_sg,
unlike the AXIDMA branch above. AXI MCDMA only operates in scatter-gather
mode (has_sg is always true), so the guard would always pass and is
omitted. The completion bit is therefore checked unconditionally.

Changes in V3:
 - Added Fixes tag.
 - Expanded commit message to explain the interrupt coalescing scenario
   and why the has_sg guard is omitted for MCDMA.
 - Changed local variable from 'bool completed' to 'u32 status' for
   cleaner status field access.
 - Simplified completion check logic.

Changes in V2:
 - No change.
