When user interrupts ongoing transfers the dmatest may end up with console
lockup, oops, or data mismatch. This patch prevents user to abort any ongoing
test.
Documentation is updated accordingly.

Comparison between buffers is stored to the dedicated structure.
Note that the verify result is now accessible only via file 'results' in the
debugfs.

The patch provides a storage for the test results in the linked list. The
gathered data could be used after test is done.
The new file 'results' represents gathered data of the in progress test. The
messages collected are printed to the kernel log as well.
Example of output:
% cat /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/results
dma0chan0-copy0: #1: No errors with src_off=0x7bf dst_off=0x8ad len=0x3fea (0)
The message format is unified across the different types of errors. A number in
the parens represents additional information, e.g. error code, error counter,
or status.
Note that the buffer comparison is done in the old way, i.e. data is not
collected and just printed out.

The following command should return actual state of the test.
% cat /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/run
To wait for test done the user may perform a busy loop that checks the state.
% while [ $(cat /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/run) = "Y" ]
> do
> echo -n "."
> sleep 1
> done
> echo

Instead of doing
modprobe dmatest ...
modprobe -r dmatest
we allow user to run tests interactively.
The dmatest could be built as module or inside kernel. Let's consider those
cases.
1. When dmatest is built as a module...
After mounting debugfs and loading the module, the /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest
folder with nodes will be created. They are the same as module parameters with
addition of the 'run' node that controls run and stop phases of the test.
Note that in this case test will not run on load automatically.
Example of usage:
% echo dma0chan0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/channel
% echo 2000 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/timeout
% echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/iterations
% echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/run
After a while you will start to get messages about current status or error like
in the original code.
Note that running a new test will stop any in progress test.
2. When built-in in the kernel...
The module parameters that is supplied to the kernel command line will be used
for the first performed test. After user gets a control, the test could be
interrupted or re-run with same or different parameters. For the details see
the above section "1. When dmatest is built as a module..."
In both cases the module parameters are used as initial values for the test case.
You always could check them at run-time by running
% grep -H . /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/*
