AXI DMA driver incorrectly assumes complete transfer completion upon
IRQ reception, particularly problematic when IRQ coalescing is active.
Updating the tail pointer dynamically fixes it.
Remove existing idle state validation in the beginning of
xilinx_dma_start_transfer() as it blocks valid transfer initiation on
busy channels with queued descriptors.
Additionally, refactor xilinx_dma_start_transfer() to consolidate coalesce
and delay configurations while conditionally starting channels
only when idle.

Fixes: Fixes: c0bba3a99f07 ("dmaengine: vdma: Add Support for Xilinx AXI Direct Memory Access Engine")This fixes an issue I recently ran into which prevented starting consecutive transfers. Thanks and: Tested-by: Folker Schwesinger <redacted>
