[PULL,28/32] hw/dma/xlnx_dpdma: Read descriptor into buffer, not into pointer-to-buffer

In fdf029762f501 we factored out the handling of reading and writing
DMA descriptors from guest memory.  Unfortunately we accidentally
made the descriptor-read read the descriptor into the address of the
buffer rather than into the buffer, because we didn't notice we
needed to update the arguments to the dma_memory_read() call. Before
the refactoring, "&desc" is the address of a local struct DPDMADescriptor
variable in xlnx_dpdma_start_operation(), which is the correct target
for the guest-memory-read. But after the refactoring 'desc' is the
"DPDMADescriptor *desc" argument to the new function, and so it is
already an address.

This bug is an overrun of a stack variable, since a pointer is at
most 8 bytes long and we try to read 64 bytes, as well as being
incorrect behaviour.

Pass 'desc' rather than '&desc' as the dma_memory_read() argument
to fix this.

(The same bug is not present in xlnx_dpdma_write_descriptor(),
because there we are writing the descriptor from a local struct
variable "DPDMADescriptor tmp_desc" and so passing &tmp_desc to
dma_memory_write() is correct.)
