This moves the code checking if a DMA channel is in use from show_in_use() into an inline helper function, dma_is_in_use(). DMA controllers can use this in order to give clients exclusive access to channels (usually necessary when setting up slave DMA.)
I have to admit that I don't really understand the channel refcounting logic at all... dma_chan_get() simply increments a per-cpu value. How can we be sure that whatever CPU calls dma_chan_is_in_use() sees the same value?
