    async_tx: kill ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag · 88ba2aa5

    In support of inter-channel chaining async_tx utilizes an ack flag to
    gate whether a dependent operation can be chained to another.  While the
    flag is not set the chain can be considered open for appending.  Setting
    the ack flag closes the chain and flags the descriptor for garbage
    collection.  The ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag essentially means "close the
    chain after adding this dependency".  Since each operation can only have
    one child the api now implicitly sets the ack flag at dependency
    submission time.  This removes an unnecessary management burden from
    clients of the api.
