There are only 3 places where tegra_dma_stop is called, does it simplify
the code if we move the pm_runtime_put() outside of tegra_dma_stop? In
other words, everywhere there is a tegra_dma_stop, afterwards we then
call pm_runtime_put?

This would allow us to get rid of the extra pm_runtime_get in
terminate_all.
