[media] tw686x: Introduce an interface to support multiple DMA modes

Browse source 
Let's set the corner stone to support all the DMA modes
available on this device.

For stability reasons, the driver is currently setting DMA frame
mode, and using single DMA buffers to get the P and B buffers.
Each frame is then memcpy'ed into the user buffer.

However, other platforms might be interested in avoiding this
memcpy, or in taking advantage of the chip's DMA scatter-gather
capabilities.

To achieve this, this commit introduces a "dma_mode" module parameter,
and a tw686x_dma_ops struct. This will allow to define functions to
alloc/free DMA buffers, and to return the frames to userspace.

The memcpy-based method described above is named as dma_mode="memcpy".
Current alloc/free functions are renamed as tw686x_memcpy_xxx,
and are now used through a memcpy_dma_ops.
