ARM: PL08x: fix locking between prepare function and submit function
The PL08x driver holds on to the channel lock with interrupts disabled
between the prepare and the subsequent submit API functions. This
means that the locking state when the prepare function returns is
dependent on whether it suceeeds or not.
It did this to ensure that the physical channel wasn't released, and
as it used to add the descriptor onto the pending list at prepare time
rather than submit time.
Now that we have reorganized the code to remove those reasons, we can
now safely release the spinlock at the end of preparation and reacquire
it in our submit function.
