DMA: PL08x: fix infinite wait when terminating transfers

Browse source

If we try to pause a channel when terminating a transfer, we could end
up spinning for it to become inactive indefinitely, and can result in
an uninterruptible wait requiring a reset to recover from.

Terminating a transfer is supposed to take effect immediately, but may
result in data loss.

To make this clear, rename the function to pl08x_terminate_phy_chan().
Also, make sure it is always consistently called - with the spinlock
held and IRQs disabled, and ensure that the TC and ERR interrupt status
is always cleared.
