spi: spidev: fix a race condition when accessing spidev->spi

There's a spinlock in place that is taken in file_operations callbacks
whenever we check if spidev->spi is still alive (not null). It's also
taken when spidev->spi is set to NULL in remove().

This however doesn't protect the code against driver unbind event while
one of the syscalls is still in progress. To that end we need a lock taken
continuously as long as we may still access spidev->spi. As both the file
ops and the remove callback are never called from interrupt context, we
can replace the spinlock with a mutex.
