Subject: [PATCH] spi: Fix spi device unregister flow

When an SPI device is unregistered, the spi->controller->cleanup() is
called in the device's release callback. That's wrong for a couple of
reasons:

1. spi_dev_put() can be called before spi_add_device() is called. And
   it's spi_add_device() that calls spi_setup(). This will cause clean()
   to get called without the spi device ever being setup.

2. There's no guarantee that the controller's driver would be present by
   the time the spi device's release function gets called.

3. It also causes "sleeping in atomic context" stack dump[1] when device
   link deletion code does a put_device() on the spi device.

Fix these issues by simply moving the cleanup from the device release
callback to the actual spi_unregister_device() function.
