[PATCH] ARM: Tegra: DMA: Fail safe if initialization fails

tegra_dma_init currently simply bails out early if any initialization fails.
This skips various data-structure initialization. In turn, this means that
tegra_dma_allocate_channel can still hand out channels. In this case, when
tegra_dma_free_channel is called, which calls tegra_dma_cancel, the walking
on ch->list will OOPS since the list's next/prev pointers may still be
NULL.

To solve this:
* Mark all possible channels as in-use before doing anything else in init.
* Only mark a channel as free once all channel-related initialization has
  completed.

This prevents allocate_channel from handing out uninitialized channels.

There is still one small hole; allocate_channel can't check the usage array
for the shared channel, since this channel is permanently marked in-use.
This could be solved using an explicit "init OK" flag that allocate_channel
could check.
