Subject: [PATCH] spi: spidev: Fix for reverting spi max speed value only on failure

When user space application request for change in spi clock
using ioctl, current value is taken back-up and new value is
assigned to spi->max_speed_hz, then spi_setup() function is
called with new value. If spi_setup() function fails, it needs
reverting to old spi_max_speed value only in failure condition.
