net_dma: acquire/release dma channels on ifup/ifdown

The recent dmaengine rework removed the capability to remove dma device
driver modules while net_dma is active.  Rather than notify
dmaengine-clients that channels are trying to be removed, we now rely on
clients to notify dmaengine when they no longer have a need for
channels.  Teach net_dma to release channels by taking dmaengine
references at netdevice open and dropping references at netdevice close.
