spi: remove some spidev oops-on-rmmod paths
Somehow the spidev code forgot to include a critical mechanism: when the
underlying device is removed (e.g. spi_master rmmod), open file
descriptors must be prevented from issuing new I/O requests to that
device. On penalty of the oopsing reported by Sebastian Siewior
<bigeasy@tglx.de> ...
This is a partial fix, adding handshaking between the lower level (SPI
messaging) and the file operations using the spi_dev. (It also fixes an
issue where reads and writes didn't return the number of bytes sent or
received.)
There's still a refcounting issue to be addressed (separately).
