Subject: [PATCH 1/3] spi: core: Add devm_spi_alloc_master

Using devm_spi_register_master leads to a memory leak on the spi_master
structure.

spi_alloc_master uses kzalloc to allocate the spi_master but the introduction
of devm_spi_register_master removed all the matching calls to spi_master_put,
leaking the spi_master structure.

Add a devm_spi_alloc_master to provide the intended behaviour.
