[PATCH V3] mxs/spi: Fix misuse of init_completion

[Marek Vasut <marex-ynQEQJNshbs@public.gmane.org>]

The init_completion() call does reinit not only the variable carrying
the flag that the completion finished, but also initialized the
waitqueue associated with the completion. On the contrary, the
INIT_COMPLETION() call only reinits the flag.

In case there was anything still stuck in the waitqueue, subsequent call
to init_completion() would be able to create possible race condition. This
patch uses the proper function and moves init_completion() into .probe() call
of the driver, to be issued only once.

Note that such scenario is impossible, since two threads can never enter the
mxs_spi_txrx_dma(), since whole this section is protected by mutex in SPI core.
This by no means allows this issue to exit though.

V2: Update the patch description and snap a whip over myself for being lazy to
    write one in the first place!
V3: Replace INIT_WORKQUEUE() with INIT_COMPLETION(), typo in patch description.
