[PATCH] spi: fix one potential spin_lock issue

[Huiquan Zhong <huiquan.zhong-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

master->pump_messages workqueue can be queued by spi_start_queue(),
__spi_queued_transfer().

there is one case that if one resume thread call spi_start_queue(),
and at the same time another spi_device thread call spi_queued_transfer()
to do spi transfer, then the first workqueue will start the spi transfer,
but the next workqueue queued before SPI transfer complete, will unusual
terminate spi transfer.

Add spin_lock protection to avoid this case.
