[PATCH] RFC: move global bus add lock to per-controller lock

[PATCH] RFC: move global bus add lock to per-controller lock

[Ben Dooks]

When trying to use the spi-mux code the system deadlocked with the
spi_add_lock being held by a parent of the new devices being created
by the spi-mux. This ended up with a hung task and no devices being
added.

To try and stop this, I think it is possible (but not certain) to
put a lock per-controller to stop new additions when devices are
being added to that controller. The lock will also be held when
the controller is being removed.
