Subject: spi: spi-axi: fix potential use-after-free after deregistration

From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>


[ Upstream commit 4d5e0689dc9d5640ad46cdfbe1896b74d8df1661 ]

Take an extra reference to the controller before deregistering it to
prevent use-after-free in the interrupt handler in case an interrupt
fires before the line is disabled.
