[PATCH v2] spi: fix possible deadlock between internal bus locks and bus_lock_flag

External users may use spi_bus_lock to get exclusive access. This will
also grab the bus_lock_mutex and may therefore result in a deadlock if
__spi_pump_messages also tries to get the mutex.

Therefore adapt spi_pump_messages as well as spi_sync to preset the
bus_locked parameter according to the master->bus_lock_flag.

changes in v2:
- move the second check from __spi_pump_messages to its calling functions
  spi_pump_messages and __spi_sync as suggested by Vignesh
