[PATCH] spi: fix parent-device reference leak

[Johan Hovold <johan-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>]

Fix parent-device reference leak due to SPI-core taking an unnecessary
reference to the parent when allocating the master structure, a
reference that was never released.

Note that driver core takes its own reference to the parent when the
master device is registered.

Fixes: 49dce689ad4e ("spi doesn't need class_device")
