[PATCH] dmaengine: xilinx: xdma: Fixes possible threading issue

[Louis Chauvet]

The current interrupt handler in xdma.c was using xdma->stop_request
before locking the vchan lock.

1. Will an additional imperative wording become helpful here?
   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?h=v6.10-rc1#n94

2. How do you think about to use the summary phrase “Fix data synchronisation in xdma_channel_isr()”?

3. Will development interests grow for the usage of a statement like “guard(spin)(&xchan->vchan.lock);”?

I changed the commit message and summary in the v2.

I don't feel comfortable switching `guard` as the rest of the driver is 
not using it yet. Since this is a fix, I prefer to maintain consistency 
with the style of the rest of the driver.

Thanks,
