dmaengine: pxa_dma: fix residue corner case

Browse source 
A very tiny temporal window exists in the residue calculation where :
 - upon entering residue calculation, the transfer is ongoing
 - when reading the current transfer pointer, it just changed to
   the "finisher/linker" descriptor

In this case, the residue returned is the whole transfer length instead
of 0. Fix it.

This appears almost in one extreme case, where the driver is used
by older clients which inquire for residue in interrupt context, such
as the smsc91x ethernet driver, in a tight loop :
  interrupt_handler()
    dmaengine_submit()
    do {
      dmaengine_tx_status()
    } while (residue > 0 || status != DMA_ERROR)
