dmaengine: virt-dma: Support for race free transfer termination

Even with the introduced vchan_synchronize() we can face race when
terminating a cyclic transfer.

If the terminate_all is called after the interrupt handler called
vchan_cyclic_callback(), but before the vchan_complete tasklet is called:
vc->cyclic is set to the cyclic descriptor, but the descriptor itself was
freed up in the driver's terminate_all() callback.
When the vhan_complete() is executed it will try to fetch the vc->cyclic
vdesc, but the pointer is pointing now to uninitialized memory leading to
(hard to reproduce) kernel crash.

In order to fix this, drivers should:
- call vchan_terminate_vdesc() from their terminate_all callback instead
calling their free_desc function to free up the descriptor.
- implement device_synchronize callback and call vchan_synchronize().

This way we can make sure that the descriptor is only going to be freed up
after the vchan_callback was executed in a safe manner.
