Currently we have a global spi_add_lock which we take when adding new
devices so that we can check that we're not trying to reuse a chip
select that's already controlled.  This means that if the SPI device is
itself a SPI controller and triggers the instantiation of further SPI
devices we trigger a deadlock as we try to register and instantiate
those devices while in the process of doing so for the parent controller
and hence already holding the global spi_add_lock.  Since we only care
about concurrency within a single SPI bus move the lock to be per
controller, avoiding the deadlock.

This can be easily triggered in the case of spi-mux.
