carma-fpga: fix race between data dumping and DMA callback

When the system is under heavy load, we occasionally saw a problem where
the system would get a legitimate interrupt when they should be
disabled.

This was caused by the data_dma_cb() DMA callback unconditionally
re-enabling FPGA interrupts even when data dumping is disabled. When
data dumping was re-enabled, the irq handler would fire while a DMA was
in progress. The "BUG_ON(priv->inflight != NULL);" during the second
invocation of the DMA callback caused the system to crash.

To fix the issue, the priv->enabled boolean is moved under the
protection of the priv->lock spinlock. The DMA callback checks the
boolean to know whether to re-enable FPGA interrupts before it returns.

Now that it is fixed, the driver keeps FPGA interrupts disabled when it
expects that they are disabled, fixing the bug.
