To ensure correct operation between the driver and PSM
with respect to managing the SDMA request ring, it is
important that the status for a particular request slot
is set at the correct time. Otherwise, PSM can get out
of sync with the driver, which could lead to hangs or
errors on new requests.

Properly determining of when to set the error status of
a SDMA slot depends on knowing exactly when the last txreq
for that request has been completed. This in turn requires
that the driver knows exactly how many requests have been
generated and how many of those requests have been successfully
submitted to the SDMA queue.

The previous implementation of the mid-layer SDMA API did not
provide a way for the caller of sdma_send_txlist() to know how
many of the txreqs in the input list have actually been submitted
without traversing the list and counting. Since sdma_send_txlist()
already traverses the list in order to process it, requiring
such traversal in the caller is completely unnecessary. Therefore,
it is much easier to enhance sdma_send_txlist() to return the
number of successfully submitted txreqs.

This, in turn, allows the caller to accurately determine the
progress of the SDMA request and, therefore, correctly set the
error status at the right time.
