dmaengine: add a release for dma class devices and dependent infrastructure

Resolves:
WARNING: at drivers/base/core.c:122 device_release+0x4d/0x52()
Device 'dma0chan0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed.

The dma_chan_dev object is introduced to gear-match sysfs kobject and
dmaengine channel lifetimes.  When a channel is removed access to the
sysfs entries return -ENODEV until the kobject can be released.

The bulk of the change is updates to existing code to handle the extra
layer of indirection between a dma_chan and its struct device.
