Subject: [PATCH 5.4 26/72] spi: Fix memory leak on splited transfers

From: Gustav Wiklander <gustavwi@...s.com>

[ Upstream commit b59a7ca15464c78ea1ba3b280cfc5ac5ece11ade ]

In the prepare_message callback the bus driver has the
opportunity to split a transfer into smaller chunks.
spi_map_msg is done after prepare_message.

Function spi_res_release releases the splited transfers
in the message. Therefore spi_res_release should be called
after spi_map_msg.

The previous try at this was commit c9ba7a16d0f1
which released the splited transfers after
spi_finalize_current_message had been called.
This introduced a race since the message struct could be
out of scope because the spi_sync call got completed.

Fixes this leak on spi bus driver spi-bcm2835.c when transfer
size is greater than 65532:
