[PATCH] spi: use linked lists rather than an array

This makes the SPI core and its users access transfers in the SPI message
structure as linked list not as an array, as discussed on LKML.

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net>

  Updates including doc, bugfixes to the list code, add
  spi_message_add_tail().  Plus, initialize things _before_ grabbing the
  locks in some cases (in case it grows more expensive).  This also merges
  some bitbang updates of mine that didn't yet make it into the mm tree.
