dmaengine: pl330: fix a race condition in case of threaded irqs

When booting up with "threadirqs" in command line, all irq handlers of the DMA
controller pl330 will be threaded forcedly. These threads will race for the same
list, pl330->req_done.

Before the callback, the spinlock was released. And after it, the spinlock was
taken. This opened an race window where another threaded irq handler could steal
the spinlock and be permitted to delete entries of the list, pl330->req_done.

If the later deleted an entry that was still referred to by the former, there would
be a kernel panic when the former was scheduled and tried to get the next sibling
of the deleted entry.

The scenario could be depicted as below:

  Thread: T1  pl330->req_done  Thread: T2
      |             |              |
      |          -A-B-C-D-         |
    Locked          |              |
      |             |           Waiting
    Del A           |              |
      |          -B-C-D-           |
    Unlocked        |              |
      |             |           Locked
    Waiting         |              |
      |             |            Del B
      |             |              |
      |           -C-D-         Unlocked
    Waiting         |              |
      |
    Locked
      |
   get C via B
      \
       - Kernel panic

The kernel panic looked like as below:

To fix this, re-start with the list-head after dropping the lock then
re-takeing it.
