dmaengine: Create symlinks between DMA channels and slaves
Currently it is not easy to find out which DMA channels are in use, and
which slave devices are using which channels.
Fix this by creating two symlinks between the DMA channel and the actual
slave device when a channel is requested:
1. A "slave" symlink from DMA channel to slave device,
2. A "dma:<name>" symlink slave device to DMA channel.
When the channel is released, the symlinks are removed again.
The latter requires keeping track of the slave device and the channel
name in the dma_chan structure.
Note that this is limited to channel request functions for requesting an
exclusive slave channel that take a device pointer (dma_request_chan()
and dma_request_slave_channel*()).
