[PATCH v2 5/6] mtd: rawnand: marvell: stop DMA before unmapping on timeout

When marvell_nfc_wait_cmdd() times out in marvell_nfc_xfer_data_dma(),
the driver unmaps the DMA buffer before calling
dmaengine_terminate_all(), which does not guarantee that the transfer
has stopped. As a result, the DMA engine may continue accessing the
buffer after its mapping has been released.

Use dmaengine_terminate_sync() before unmapping the buffer on the
timeout path, while preserving the existing status logging before
termination so that it reflects the timed-out transfer.

This issue was identified by a research static analyzer for DMA
lifecycle ordering and has not been validated on hardware.
