dmaengine: track the number of clients using a channel

Haavard's dma-slave interface would like to test for exclusive access to a
channel.  The standard channel refcounting is not sufficient in that it
tracks more than just client references, it is also inaccurate as reference
counts are percpu until the channel is removed.

This change also enables a future fix to deallocate resources when a client
declines to use a capable channel.
