dmaengine, async_tx: add a "no channel switch" allocator

Channel switching is problematic for some dmaengine drivers as the
architecture precludes separating the ->prep from ->submit.  In these
cases the driver can select ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH to modify
the async_tx allocator to only return channels that support all of the
required asynchronous operations.

For example MD_RAID456=y selects support for asynchronous xor, xor
validate, pq, pq validate, and memcpy.  When
ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH=y any channel with all these
capabilities is marked DMA_ASYNC_TX allowing async_tx_find_channel() to
quickly locate compatible channels with the guarantee that dependency
chains will remain on one channel.  When
ASYNC_TX_DISABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH=n async_tx_find_channel() may select
channels that lead to operation chains that need to cross channel
boundaries using the async_tx channel switch capability.
