dmaengine: ensure all DMA engine drivers initialize their cookies
Ensure all DMA engine drivers initialize their cookies in the same way, so that they all behave in a similar fashion. This means their first issued cookie will be 2 rather than 1, and will increment to INT_MAX before returning 1 and starting over.

The reserved usage of zero is an driver internal > concern, but I have no problem formalizing it as a reserved value.
