Use the cleanup helper to simplify dma_async_tx_descriptor error handling.

 need goto unmap buffer.

desc_prepare_err_exit:
        dma_unmap_single(txchan->device->dev, dma->dma_tx_addr,
                         dma->rx_cmd_buf_len, DMA_TO_DEVICE);
        return -EINVAL;

submit_err_exit:
        dma_unmap_single(txchan->device->dev, dma->dma_tx_addr,
                         dma->rx_cmd_buf_len, DMA_TO_DEVICE);
        dmaengine_desc_free(rx_cmd_desc)

auto cleanup by __free, so whole error path submit_err_exit can be removed
and use desc_prepare_err_exit label.

Typically if you are introducing cleanup usage, you will want to remove all the goto usages. Otherwise it gets kinda messy having both styles. Although not sure how to do a cleanup macro with dma_unmap_*. Unless a local one where lpi2c_imx_dma also contains a ptr to the device. Then that may be doable.

dma_unmap() patch at
https://lore.kernel.org/imx/aPZbuY5bLpkoO2J%2F@lizhi-Precision-Tower-5810/ (local)

The first patch need be pickup and dma umap firstly.  Then I can remove all
goto.
