dmaengine: Fix access to uninitialized dma_slave_caps

dmaengine_desc_set_reuse() allocates a struct dma_slave_caps on the
stack, populates it using dma_get_slave_caps() and then accesses one
of its members.

However dma_get_slave_caps() may fail and this isn't accounted for,
leading to a legitimate warning of gcc-4.9 (but not newer versions):

   In file included from drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.c:19:0:
   drivers/spi/spi-bcm2835.c: In function 'dmaengine_desc_set_reuse':
>> include/linux/dmaengine.h:1370:10: warning: 'caps.descriptor_reuse' is used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
     if (caps.descriptor_reuse) {

Fix it, thereby also silencing the gcc-4.9 warning.

The issue has been present for 4 years but surfaces only now that
the first caller of dmaengine_desc_set_reuse() has been added in
spi-bcm2835.c. Another user of reusable DMA descriptors has existed
for a while in pxa_camera.c, but it sets the DMA_CTRL_REUSE flag
directly instead of calling dmaengine_desc_set_reuse(). Nevertheless,
tag this commit for stable in case there are out-of-tree users.
