spi: s3c64xx: requests spi-dma channel only during data transfer

Browse source

Current s3c64xx SPI driver acquires DMA channel during driver
probe and holds on it even when channels are not used
(no DMA transfer). This is a problem especially when all the
DMA channels are exhausted (as other IPs on the same DMA
controller also acquires DMA channel) and if a new IP/Device
requests for a DMA channel (on the same DMA controller), it won’t
get DMA channel allocated.
The said issue can be avoided if s3c64xx driver request and
release DMA channel before and after data transfer. Let’s modify
the driver to request and release DMA channel before and after
DMA mode data transfer.
