Add a synchronize helper function for the virt-dma library. The function makes sure that any scheduled descriptor complete callbacks have finished running before the function returns.
This needs to be called by drivers using virt-dma in their device_synchronize() callback. Depending on the driver additional operations might be necessary in addition to calling vchan_synchronize() to ensure proper synchronization.
