mtd: gpmi: fix kernel BUG due to racing DMA operations

commit 7b3d2fb92067bcb29f0f085a9fa9fa64920a6646 upstream.

[1] The gpmi uses the nand_command_lp to issue the commands to NAND chips.
    The gpmi issues a DMA operation with gpmi_cmd_ctrl when it handles
    a NAND_CMD_NONE control command. So when we read a page(NAND_CMD_READ0)
    from the NAND, we may send two DMA operations back-to-back.

    If we do not serialize the two DMA operations, we will meet a bug when

    1.1) we enable CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG, CONFIG_DMADEVICES_DEBUG,
         and CONFIG_DEBUG_SG.

    1.2) Use the following commands in an UART console and a SSH console:
         cmd 1: while true;do dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/dev/null;done
         cmd 1: while true;do dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null;done

    The kernel log shows below:

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    1.3) Assume the two DMA operations is X (first) and Y (second).

         The root cause of the bug:
	   Assume process P issues DMA X, and sleep on the completion
	 @this->dma_done. X's tasklet callback is dma_irq_callback. It firstly
	 wake up the process sleeping on the completion @this->dma_done,
	 and then trid to unmap the scatterlist S. The waked process P will
	 issue Y in another ARM core. Y initializes S->sg_magic to zero
	 with sg_init_one(), while dma_irq_callback is unmapping S at the same
	 time.

	 See the diagram:

                   ARM core 0              |         ARM core 1
	 -------------------------------------------------------------
         (P issues DMA X, then sleep)  --> |
                                           |
         (X's tasklet wakes P)         --> |
                                           |
                                           | <-- (P begin to issue DMA Y)
                                           |
         (X's tasklet unmap the            |
      scatterlist S with dma_unmap_sg) --> | <-- (Y calls sg_init_one() to init
                                           |      scatterlist S)
                                           |

[2] This patch serialize both the X and Y in the following way:
     Unmap the DMA scatterlist S firstly, and wake up the process at the end
     of the DMA callback, in such a way, Y will be executed after X.

     After this patch:

                   ARM core 0              |         ARM core 1
	 -------------------------------------------------------------
         (P issues DMA X, then sleep)  --> |
                                           |
         (X's tasklet unmap the            |
      scatterlist S with dma_unmap_sg) --> |
                                           |
         (X's tasklet wakes P)         --> |
                                           |
                                           | <-- (P begin to issue DMA Y)
                                           |
                                           | <-- (Y calls sg_init_one() to init
                                           |     scatterlist S)
                                           |
