dev: Remove zero-time loop in DMA timing send

This patch removes the zero-time loop used to send items from the DMA
port transmit list. Instead of having a loop, the DMA port now uses an
event to schedule sending of a single packet.

Ultimately this patch serves to ease the transition to a blocking
4-phase handshake.

A follow-on patch will update the regression statistics.
