fsldma: fix infinite loop on multi-descriptor DMA chain completion

When creating a DMA transaction with multiple descriptors, the async_tx
cookie is set to 0 for each descriptor in the chain, excluding the last
descriptor, whose cookie is set to -EBUSY.

When fsl_dma_tx_submit() is run, it only assigns a cookie to the first
descriptor. All of the remaining descriptors keep their original value,
including the last descriptor, which is set to -EBUSY.

After the DMA completes, the driver will update the last completed cookie
to be -EBUSY, which is an error code instead of a valid cookie. This causes
dma_async_is_complete() to always return DMA_IN_PROGRESS.

This causes the fsldma driver to never cleanup the queue of link
descriptors, and the driver will re-run the DMA transaction on the hardware
each time it receives the End-of-Chain interrupt. This causes an infinite
loop.

With this patch, fsl_dma_tx_submit() is changed to assign a cookie to every
descriptor in the chain. The rest of the code then works without problems.
