Re: [PATCH] net: ethernet: ti: cpdma: remove used_desc counter

The struct cpdma_desc_pool->used_desc field can be safely removed from
CPDMA driver (and hot patch) because used_descs counter is used just
for pool consistency check at CPDMA deinitialization and now this
check can be re-implemnted using gen_pool_size(pool->gen_pool) !=
gen_pool_avail(pool->gen_pool).
More over, this will allow to get rid of warnings in
cpdma_desc_pool_destro()-> WARN_ON(pool->used_desc) which may happen
because the used_descs is used unprotected, since CPDMA has been
switched to use genalloc, and may get wrong values on SMP.

Hence, remove used_desc from struct cpdma_desc_pool.
