The tx_list attribute of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor is common to
most, but not all dma driver implementations.  None of the upper level
code (dmaengine/async_tx) uses it, so allow drivers to implement it
locally if they need it.  This saves sizeof(struct list_head) bytes for
drivers that do not manage descriptors with a linked list (e.g.: ioatdma
v2,3).
