The "{tx,rx}_buf != NULL" condition would not sufficient on its own; the
call to ->can_dma() is also part of the condition.  __spi_unmap_msg()
already does the ->can_dma() call even though it checks for the
orig_nents != 0 condition instead of the tx,rx_buf != NULL, but I
omitted that call in the new sync functions, incorrectly believing it to
be redundant.

It looks like __spi_unmap_msg() would have triggered a similar crash
even before this patch, if a client had reused an xfer with both rx and
tx the first time, and only one of them enabled the next time around
(and with ->can_dma() returning true both times).  Testing the
{tx,rx}_buf instead of sgt->orig_nents would have avoided that, as you
say.
