spi/mmc_spi: SPI bus locking API, using mutex

SPI bus locking API to allow exclusive access to the SPI bus, especially, but
not limited to, for the mmc_spi driver.

Coded according to an outline from Grant Likely; here is his
specification (accidentally swapped function names corrected):

It requires 3 things to be added to struct spi_master.
- 1 Mutex
- 1 spin lock
- 1 flag.

The mutex protects spi_sync, and provides sleeping "for free"
The spinlock protects the atomic spi_async call.
The flag is set when the lock is obtained, and checked while holding
the spinlock in spi_async().  If the flag is checked, then spi_async()
must fail immediately.

The current runtime API looks like this:
spi_async(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*);
spi_sync(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*);

The API needs to be extended to this:
spi_async(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
spi_sync(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
spi_bus_lock(struct spi_master*)  /* although struct spi_device* might
be easier */
spi_bus_unlock(struct spi_master*)
spi_async_locked(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
spi_sync_locked(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)

Drivers can only call the last two if they already hold the spi_master_lock().

spi_bus_lock() obtains the mutex, obtains the spin lock, sets the
flag, and releases the spin lock before returning.  It doesn't even
need to sleep while waiting for "in-flight" spi_transactions to
complete because its purpose is to guarantee no additional
transactions are added.  It does not guarantee that the bus is idle.

spi_bus_unlock() clears the flag and releases the mutex, which will
wake up any waiters.

The difference between spi_async() and spi_async_locked() is that the
locked version bypasses the check of the lock flag.  Both versions
need to obtain the spinlock.

The difference between spi_sync() and spi_sync_locked() is that
spi_sync() must hold the mutex while enqueuing a new transfer.
spi_sync_locked() doesn't because the mutex is already held.  Note
however that spi_sync must *not* continue to hold the mutex while
waiting for the transfer to complete, otherwise only one transfer
could be queued up at a time!

Almost no code needs to be written.  The current spi_async() and
spi_sync() can probably be renamed to __spi_async() and __spi_sync()
so that spi_async(), spi_sync(), spi_async_locked() and
spi_sync_locked() can just become wrappers around the common code.

spi_sync() is protected by a mutex because it can sleep
spi_async() needs to be protected with a flag and a spinlock because
it can be called atomically and must not sleep
