This patch disables the use of DMA_INTERRUPT capability with Async_tx

The fsldma produces a null transfer with DMA_INTERRUPT
capability when used with Async_tx. When RAID devices queue
a transaction via Async_tx, this =A0results in a hang.

You are basically saying that fsl_dma_prep_interrupt() is buggy.  Can
that routine be fixed rather than this piecemeal solution?  If it
cannot be fixed (i.e. hardware issue) then fsl_dma_prep_interrupt()
should just be disabled/deleted altogether.
