of: dma: fix potential deadlock when requesting a slave channel 

In the latest version of the OF dma handlers I added support (rather hastily)
to exhaustively search for an available dma slave channel, for the use-case
where we have alternative slave channels that can be used. In the current
implementation a deadlock scenario can occur causing the CPU to loop forever.
The scenario is as follows ...

1. There are alternative channels avaialble
2. The first channel that is found by calling of_dma_find_channel() is not
   available and so the call to the xlate function returns NULL. In this case
   we will call of_dma_find_channel() again but we will return the same channel
   that we found the first time and hence, again the xlate will return NULL and
   we will loop here forever.

Fix this potential deadlock by just using a single for-loop and not a for-loop
nested in a do-while loop. This change also replaces the function
of_dma_find_channel() with of_dma_match_channel() which performs a simple check
to see if a DMA channel matches the name specified.

I have tested this implementation on an OMAP4 panda board by adding a dummy
DMA specifier, that will cause the xlate function to return NULL, to the
beginning of a list of DMA specifiers for a DMA client.
