    Avoid hw_desc array overrun in dw-axi-dmac
    
    [ Upstream commit 333e11bf47fa8d477db90e2900b1ed3c9ae9b697 ]
    
    I have a use case where nr_buffers = 3 and in which each descriptor is composed by 3
    segments, resulting in the DMA channel descs_allocated to be 9. Since axi_desc_put()
    handles the hw_desc considering the descs_allocated, this scenario would result in a
    kernel panic (hw_desc array will be overrun).
    
    To fix this, the proposal is to add a new member to the axi_dma_desc structure,
    where we keep the number of allocated hw_descs (axi_desc_alloc()) and use it in
    axi_desc_put() to handle the hw_desc array correctly.
    
    Additionally I propose to remove the axi_chan_start_first_queued() call after completing
    the transfer, since it was identified that unbalance can occur (started descriptors can
    be interrupted and transfer ignored due to DMA channel not being enabled).
