Here it is required to know if the engine was idle or not before
submitting new desc to the active list (i.e, before calling
"vchan_issue_pending()" API). So that if there was nothing active then
start processing this desc otherwise later.

Here desc is submitted to the engine after vchan_issue_pending() API
called which will actually put the desc into the active list and then if
I get the next desc, the condition will always be true. Therefore used
this flag here to solve this issue.

Once the desc is submitted to the engine that will be handled by
pt_handle_active_desc() function. This issue was resolved by making
these changes together. Hence kept into the single patch.

Please suggest to me, if this still needs to be split. I'll make the
changes accordingly.
