[PATCH] dmaengine: Remove a useless mutex

[Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

According to lib/idr.c,
   The IDA handles its own locking.  It is safe to call any of the IDA
   functions without synchronisation in your code.

so the 'chan_mutex' mutex can just be removed.
It is here only to protect some ida_alloc()/ida_free() calls.
