Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: at_hdmac: Fix concurrency problems by removing
atc_complete_all()

atc_complete_all() had concurrency bugs, thus remove it:
1/ atc_complete_all() in its entirety was buggy, as when the atchan->queue list (the one that contains descriptors that are not yet issued to the hardware) contained descriptors, it fired just the first from the atchan->queue, but moved all the desc from atchan->queue to atchan->active_list and considered them all as fired. This could result in calling the completion of a descriptor that was not yet issued to the hardware.
2/ when in tasklet at atc_advance_work() time, atchan->active_list was queried without holding the lock of the chan. This can result in atchan->active_list concurrency problems between the tasklet and issue_pending().

Fixes dc78baa2b90b ("dmaengine: at_hdmac: new driver for the Atmel AHB DMA Controller")
