[PATCH 13/33] 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().
