dmaengine: Fixup dmaengine_prep_slave_single() to be actually useful

Browse Source 
dmaengine_prep_slave_single() is a helper function which is supposed to be used
to prepare a transfer of a single contingous buffer. Currently the function
takes a pointer to such a buffer from which it builds a scatterlist and passes
it on to device_prep_slave_sg. The dmaengine framework requires that any
scatterlist that is passed to device_prep_slave_sg is mapped and it may not be
unmapped until the DMA operation has completed. This is not the here and any use
of dmaengine_prep_slave_single() will lead to undefined behaviour (Most likely a
system crash).

This patch changes dmaengine_prep_slave_single() to take a dma_addr_t instead of
a pointer to a buffer and moves the responsibility of mapping and unmapping the
buffer up to the caller.
