Subject: [PATCH] i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Fix race in DMA error handling in
 interrupt context

The DMA ring halts whenever a transfer encounters an error. The interrupt
handler previously attempted to detect this situation and restart the ring
if a transfer completed at the same time. However, this restart logic runs
entirely in interrupt context and is inherently racy: it interacts with
other paths manipulating the ring state, and fully serializing it within
the interrupt handler is not practical.

Move this error-recovery logic out of the interrupt handler and into the
transfer-processing path (i3c_hci_process_xfer()), where serialization and
state management are already controlled. Introduce a new optional I/O-ops
callback, handle_error(), invoked when a completed transfer reports an
error. For DMA operation, the implementation simply calls the existing
dequeue function, which safely aborts and restarts the ring when needed.

This removes the fragile ring-restart logic from the interrupt handler and
centralizes error handling where proper sequencing can be ensured.
