External users may use spi_bus_lock to get exclusive access. This will
also grab the bus_lock_mutex and may therefore result in a deadlock if
__spi_pump_messages also tries to get the mutex.

I suggest bus_locked flag passed to __spi_pump_messages() by
__spi_sync() be updated to take care of the fact that spi_bus_lock() may
have acquired the mutex, so that below changes in __spi_pump_messages()
are not needed.
