If there is in-flight transfer, then interrupt may fire at any time. All
CSRE modifications must be protected.

You should assume that interrupt handler may run with a delay. Then
pause() will see that channel isn't busy, but delayed interrupt will
start the next transfer.

Also, the tegra_dma_pause() will crash if tdc->dma_desc=NULL.

Everything must be done under lock.
