When we get a DMA channel and try to use it in multiple threads it
will cause oops and hanging the system.

This happens because of data race. Each thread rewrite channels's
descriptor as soon as device_prep_dma_memcpy() is called. It leads to the
situation when the driver thinks that it uses right descriptor that
actually is freed or substituted for other one.
With current fixes a descriptor changes its value only when it has
been used. A new descriptor is acquired from vc->desc_issued queue that
is already filled with descriptors that are ready to be sent. Threads
have no direct access to DMA channel descriptor. Now it is just possible
to queue a descriptor for further processing.
