firewire: fw-ohci: Dynamically allocate buffers for DMA descriptors
Previously, the fw-ohci driver used fixed-length buffers for storing descriptors for isochronous receive DMA programs. If an application (such as libdc1394) generated a DMA program that was too large, fw-ohci would reach the limit of its fixed-sized buffer and return an error to userspace. This patch replaces the fixed-length ring-buffer with a linked-list of page-sized buffers. Additional buffers can be dynamically allocated and appended to the list when necessary. For a particular context, buffers are kept around after use and reused as necessary, so there is no allocation taking place after the DMA program is generated for the first time. In addition, the buffers it uses are coherent for DMA so there is no syncing required before and after writes. This syncing wasn't properly done in the previous version of the code. - This is the fourth version of my patch that replaces a fixed-length buffer for DMA descriptors with a dynamically allocated linked-list of buffers. As we discovered with the last attempt, new context programs are sometimes queued from interrupt context, making it unacceptable to call tasklet_disable() from context_get_descriptors(). This version of the patch uses ohci->lock for all locking needs instead of tasklet_disable/enable. There is a new requirement that context_get_descriptors() be called while holding ohci->lock. It was already held for the AT context, so adding the requirement for the iso context did not seem particularly onerous. In addition, this has the side benefit of allowing iso queue to be safely called from concurrent user-space threads, which previously was not safe.

(Reproduced with coriander.) - Isochronous reception stopped after one or a few frames on VT630x in OHCI 1.0 mode. (Fixes reception in coriander, but dvgrab still doesn't work with these chips.)
