Subject: [PATCH] spi: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in
 spi_shutdown()

Shutdown bus function might be called on the unbound device, so add a
check if there is a driver before calling its shutdown function.

This fixes following kernel panic obserbed during system reboot:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000018
...
