[PATCH v3 1/9] dmaengine: Add API to combine configuration and preparation (sg and single)

Previously, configuration and preparation required two separate calls. This
works well when configuration is done only once during initialization.
However, in cases where the burst length or source/destination address must
be adjusted for each transfer, calling two functions is verbose and
requires additional locking to ensure both steps complete atomically.
Add a new API dmaengine_prep_config_single() and dmaengine_prep_config_sg()
and callback device_prep_config_sg() that combines configuration and
preparation into a single operation. If the configuration argument is
passed as NULL, fall back to the existing implementation.

change in v3
- remove Deprecated for callback device_prep_slave_sg().
- Move condition check before sg init.
- split function at return type.
- move safe version to next patch
change in v2
- add () for function
- use short name device_prep_sg(), remove "slave" and "config". the 'slave'
is reduntant. after remove slave, the function name is difference existed
one, so remove _config suffix.
