[PATCH 1/3] spi: introduce max message size flag in spi_master

Recently a maximum transfer size was was introduced in struct spi_master.
However there are also spi controllers with a maximum message size, e.g.
fsl-espi has a max message size of 64KB.
As there are no (known) spi controller with differing size limits for
transfer and message, introduce a flag in spi_master to indicate that
the max transfer size is also the maximum message size.
