Subject: [PATCH 2/6] spi: tegra210-quad: Move curr_xfer read inside
 spinlock

Move the assignment of the transfer pointer from curr_xfer inside the
spinlock critical section in both handle_cpu_based_xfer() and
handle_dma_based_xfer().

Previously, curr_xfer was read before acquiring the lock, creating a
window where the timeout path could clear curr_xfer between reading it
and using it. By moving the read inside the lock, the handlers are
guaranteed to see a consistent value that cannot be modified by the
timeout path.

Fixes: 921fc1838fb0 ("spi: tegra210-quad: Add support for Tegra210 QSPI controller")
