Subject: [PATCH] spi: fix use-after-free of the add_lock mutex

Commit 6098475d4cb4 ("spi: Fix deadlock when adding SPI controllers on
SPI buses") introduced a per-controller mutex. But mutex_unlock() of
said lock is called after the controller is already freed:

  spi_unregister_controller(ctlr)
  -> put_device(&ctlr->dev)
    -> spi_controller_release(dev)
  -> mutex_unlock(&ctrl->add_lock)

Move the put_device() after the mutex_unlock().
