DMAEngine: Define interleaved transfer request api
Define a new api that could be used for doing fancy data transfers like interleaved to contiguous copy and vice-versa. Traditional SG_list based transfers tend to be very inefficient in such cases as where the interleave and chunk are only a few bytes, which call for a very condensed api to convey pattern of the transfer. This api supports all 4 variants of scatter-gather and contiguous transfer. Of course, neither can this api help transfers that don't lend to DMA by nature, i.e, scattered tiny read/writes with no periodic pattern. Also since now we support SLAVE channels that might not provide device_prep_slave_sg callback but device_prep_interleaved_dma, remove the BUG_ON check.
