ARM: PL08x: move callback outside spinlock'd region

Calling the callback handler with spinlocks in the tasklet held leads
to deadlock when dmaengine functions are called:

BUG: spinlock lockup on CPU#0, sh/417, c1870a08

Dan quoted the documentation:
> 2/ Completion callback routines cannot submit new operations.  This
>    results in recursion in the synchronous case and spin_locks being
>    acquired twice in the asynchronous case.

but then followed up to say:
> I should clarify, this is the async_memcpy() api requirement which is
> not used outside of md/raid5.  DMA drivers can and do allow new
> submissions from callbacks, and the ones that do so properly move the
> callback outside of the driver lock.

So let's fix it by moving the callback out of the spinlocked region.
