spi: avoid spidev crash when device is removed
I saw a kernel oops in spidev_remove() when a spidev device was registered
and I unloaded the SPI master driver:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000004
Faulting instruction address: 0xc01c0c50
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

IMHO a call to spi_set_drvdata() is missing in spidev_probe(). The patch
below helped.
