spi: dw-dma: Add one-by-one SG list entries transfer

In case if at least one of the requested DMA engine channels doesn't
support the hardware accelerated SG list entries traverse, the DMA driver
will most likely work that around by performing the IRQ-based SG list
entries resubmission. That might and will cause a problem if the DMA Tx
channel is recharged and re-executed before the Rx DMA channel. Due to
non-deterministic IRQ-handler execution latency the DMA Tx channel will
start pushing data to the SPI bus before the Rx DMA channel is even
reinitialized with the next inbound SG list entry. By doing so the DMA
Tx channel will implicitly start filling the DW APB SSI Rx FIFO up, which
while the DMA Rx channel being recharged and re-executed will eventually
be overflown.

In order to solve the problem we have to feed the DMA engine with SG
list entries one-by-one. It shall keep the DW APB SSI Tx and Rx FIFOs
synchronized and prevent the Rx FIFO overflow. Since in general the SPI
tx_sg and rx_sg lists may have different number of entries of different
lengths (though total length should match) we virtually split the
SG-lists to the set of DMA transfers, which length is a minimum of the
ordered SG-entries lengths.

The solution described above is only executed if a full-duplex SPI
transfer is requested and the DMA engine hasn't provided channels with
hardware accelerated SG list traverse capability to handle both SG
lists at once.
