Subject: [PATCH] spi: dw: Set transfer handler before unmasking the IRQs

It turns out the IRQs most like can be unmasked before the controller is
enabled with no problematic consequences. The manual doesn't explicitly
state that, but the examples perform the controller initialization
procedure in that order. So the commit da8f58909e7e ("spi: dw: Unmask IRQs
after enabling the chip") hasn't been that required as I thought. But
anyway setting the IRQs up after the chip enabling still worth adding
since it has simplified the code a bit. The problem is that it has
introduced a potential bug. The transfer handler pointer is now
initialized after the IRQs are enabled. That may and eventually will cause
an invalid or uninitialized callback invocation. Fix that just by
performing the callback initialization before the IRQ unmask procedure.
