spi: fix refcount-related spidev oops-on-rmmod
This addresses other oopsing paths in "spidev" by changing how it manages refcounting. It decouples the lifecycle of the per-device data from the class device (not just the spi device): - Use class_{create,destroy} not class_{register,unregister}. - Use device_{create,destroy} not device_{register,unregister}. - Free the per-device data only when TWO conditions are true: * Driver is unbound from underlying SPI device, and * Device is no longer open (new) Also, spi_{get,set}_drvdata not dev_{get,set}_drvdata for simpler code.
