[PATCH v14 12/12] dmaengine: imx-sdma: add terminated list for freed descriptor in worker

Add terminated list for keeping descriptor so that it could be freed in
worker without any potential involving next descriptor raised up before
this descriptor freed, because vchan_get_all_descriptors get all
descriptors including the last terminated descriptor and the next
descriptor, hence, the next descriptor maybe freed unexpectly when it's
done in worker without this patch.
