spi: core: Fix deadlock when sending messages
The function __spi_pump_messages() is called by spi_pump_messages() and __spi_sync(). The function __spi_sync() has an argument 'bus_locked' that indicates if it is called with the SPI bus mutex held or not. If 'bus_locked' is false then __spi_sync() will acquire the mutex itself. Commit 556351f14e74 ("spi: introduce accelerated read support for spi flash devices") made a change to acquire the SPI bus mutex within __spi_pump_messages(). However, this change did not check to see if the mutex is already held. If __spi_sync() is called with the mutex held (ie. 'bus_locked' is true), then a deadlock occurs when __spi_pump_messages() is called. Fix this deadlock by passing the 'bus_locked' state from __spi_sync() to __spi_pump_messages() and only acquire the mutex if not already held. In the case where __spi_pump_messages() is called from spi_pump_messages() it is assumed that the mutex is not held and so call __spi_pump_messages() with 'bus_locked' set to false. Finally, move the unlocking of the mutex to the end of the __spi_pump_messages() function to simplify the code and only call cond_resched() if there are no errors.
