From: Forrest shi <b29237@freescale.com>

    dma status check function fsl_tx_status is heavily called in
    a tight loop and the desc lock in fsl_tx_status contended by
    the dma status update function. this caused the dma performance
    degrades much.

    this patch releases the lock in the fsl_tx_status function, and
    introduce the smp_mb() to avoid possible memory inconsistency.
