Subject: [PATCH v5 2/3] dmaengine: imx-sdma: fix dma freezes

For some years and since many kernel versions there are reports that the
RX UART SDMA channel stops working at some point. The workaround was to
disable DMA for RX. This commit fixes the problem itself. Cyclic DMA
transfers are used by uart and other drivers and these can fail in at
least two cases where we can run out of descriptors available to the
engine:
- Interrupts are disabled for too long and all buffers are filled with
  data, especially in a setup where many small dma transfers are being
  executed only using a tiny part of a single buffer
- DMA errors (such as generated by baud rate mismatch with imx-uart)
  use up all descriptors before we can react.

In this case, SDMA stops the channel and no further transfers are done
until the respective channel is disabled and re-enabled. We can check
if the channel has been stopped and re-enable it then. To distinguish
from the the case that the channel was stopped by upper-level driver
we introduce new flag IMX_DMA_ACTIVE.

As sdmac->desc is constant we can move desc out of the loop.
