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

avoid "scatter-gather" mode.

Not need to talk about has_sg check and compare it with AXIDMA but if 
you still prefer make it precise.

Once addressed , feel free to add.

Thanks!

Just a note that this change aligns with changes that were done in past 
for AXIDMA in commit 7bcdaa658102 dmaengine: xilinx_dma: Freeup active 
list based on descriptor completion bit
