    dmaengine: dmatest: Fix iteration non-stop logic
    
    commit b9f960201249f20deea586b4ec814669b4c6b1c0 upstream.
    
    Under some circumstances, i.e. when test is still running and about to
    time out and user runs, for example,
    
            grep -H . /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/*
    
    the iterations parameter is not respected and test is going on and on until
    user gives
    
            echo 0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run
    
    This is not what expected.
    
    The history of this bug is interesting. I though that the commit
      2d88ce76eb98 ("dmatest: add a 'wait' parameter")
    is a culprit, but looking closer to the code I think it simple revealed the
    broken logic from the day one, i.e. in the commit
      0a2ff57d6fba ("dmaengine: dmatest: add a maximum number of test iterations")
    which adds iterations parameter.
    
    So, to the point, the conditional of checking the thread to be stopped being
    first part of conjunction logic prevents to check iterations. Thus, we have to
    always check both conditions to be able to stop after given iterations.
    
    Since it wasn't visible before second commit appeared, I add a respective
    Fixes tag.
