dmaengine: Clarify cyclic transfer residue documentation

The current documentation for the residue reported in a cyclic transfer
case mentions that the reported residue should be relative to the current
period only. However the definition of DMA_RESIDUE_GRANULARITY_SEGMENT
specifies that the residue should be updated after each period for
a cyclic transfer, which is in direct contradiction.

Moreover the pcm_dmaengine common code uses the residue relative to
the whole cyclic buffer size, not one period.

Correct the residue-related documentation to reflect this.
