arm: Fix DMA event handling bug in the PL111 model

The PL111 model currently maintains a list of pre-allocated
DmaDoneEvents to prevent unnecessary heap allocations. This list
effectively works like a stack where the top element is the latest
scheduled event. When an event triggers, the top pointer is moved down
the stack. This obviously breaks since events usually retire from the
bottom (events don't necessarily have to retire in order), which
triggers the following assertion:

gem5.debug: build/ARM/dev/arm/pl111.cc:460: void Pl111::fillFifo(): \
  Assertion `!dmaDoneEvent[dmaPendingNum-1].scheduled()' failed.

This changeset adds a vector listing the currently unused events. This
vector acts like a stack where the an element is popped off the stack
when a new event is needed an pushed on the stack when they trigger.
