[PATCH 2.6.23-rc7 2/3] async_tx: fix dma_wait_for_async_tx

[Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>]

Fix dma_wait_for_async_tx to not loop forever in the case where a
dependency chain is longer than two entries.  This condition will not
happen with current in-kernel drivers, but fix it for future drivers.
