[PATCH] spi: bcm2835: Add spi_master_get() call to prevent use after free

The call to spi_unregister_master results in device memory being freed, it must
no longer be accessed afterwards. Thus call spi_master_get to get an extra
reference to the device and call spi_master_put only after the last access to
device data.
