spi: spidev: fix a race between spidev_release and spidev_remove

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1888690

[ Upstream commit abd42781 ]

Imagine below scene, spidev is referenced after it's freed.

spidev_release()                spidev_remove()
...
                                spin_lock_irq(&spidev->spi_lock);
                                    spidev->spi = NULL;
                                spin_unlock_irq(&spidev->spi_lock);
mutex_lock(&device_list_lock);
dofree = (spidev->spi == NULL);
if (dofree)
    kfree(spidev);
mutex_unlock(&device_list_lock);
                                mutex_lock(&device_list_lock);
                                list_del(&spidev->device_entry);
                                device_destroy(spidev_class, spidev->devt);
                                clear_bit(MINOR(spidev->devt), minors);
                                if (spidev->users == 0)
                                    kfree(spidev);
                                mutex_unlock(&device_list_lock);

Fix it by resetting spidev->spi in device_list_lock's protection.
