spi: gpio: Don't leak SPI master in probe error path
If the call to devm_spi_register_master() fails on probe of the GPIO SPI
driver, the spi_master struct is erroneously not freed:

After allocating the spi_master, its reference count is 1.  The driver
unconditionally decrements the reference count on unbind using a devm
action.  Before calling devm_spi_register_master(), the driver
unconditionally increments the reference count because on success,
that function will decrement the reference count on unbind.  However on
failure, devm_spi_register_master() does *not* decrement the reference
count, so the spi_master is leaked.

The issue was introduced by commits 8b797490b4 ("spi: gpio: Make sure
spi_master_put() is called in every error path") and 79567c1a32 ("spi:
gpio: Use devm_spi_register_master()"), which sought to plug leaks
introduced by 9b00bc7b90 ("spi: spi-gpio: Rewrite to use GPIO
descriptors") but missed this remaining leak.

The situation was later aggravated by commit d3b0ffa1d7 ("spi: gpio:
prevent memory leak in spi_gpio_probe"), which introduced a
use-after-free because it releases a reference on the spi_master if
devm_add_action_or_reset() fails even though the function already
does that.

Fix by switching over to the new devm_spi_alloc_master() helper.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
