[PATCH/RFC] SPI: async message handing library update

[Vitaly Wool]

This is just an update of the library for handling async SPI messages using kernel threads, one per each SPI controller. The only change is that thread's mutex has been changed to spinlock, in order to make it possible to call transfer function from the interrupt context.
