Subject: [PATCH] p54spi: fix locking warning in p54spi_op_tx

This patch fixes the following waring:
> ------------[ cut here ]------------
>WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:138 local_bh_enable+0x54/0xbc()
>Modules linked in: p54spi
>[<c0034ff8>] (dump_stack+0x0/0x14)
>[<c005b1a4>] (warn_on_slowpath+0x0/0x68)
>[<c00604c8>] (local_bh_enable+0x0/0xbc)
>[<bf000000>] (p54spi_op_tx+0x0/0x4c [p54spi])
>[<c01a4d34>] (p54_sta_unlock+0x0/0x78)

p54spi_op_tx needs to be called from different locking contexts.
Therefore we have to protect the linked list with irqsave spinlocks.
