vchan_complete() contains a potential NULL-pointer dereference:
the vd variable is checked for being non-NULL under a spinlock,
but few lines below &vd->tx_result is passed as a second arg to
dmaengine_desc_callback_invoke() unconditionally.

This issue was spotted by looking into the code, I'm not aware of
any real world consequences. It seems like dmaengine_desc_callback_invoke()
is never using the second argument in cases when vd is NULL, this is
why we haven't seen any crashes.

To make it safer, let's pass NULL to dmaengine_desc_callback_invoke()
if vd is NULL.
