In the prepare_message callback the bus driver has the
opportunity to split a transfer into smaller chunks.
spi_map_msg is done after prepare_message.
Function spi_res_release releases the splited transfers
in the message. Therefore spi_res_release should be called
after spi_map_msg.
The previous try at this was commit c9ba7a16d0
which released the splited transfers after
spi_finalize_current_message had been called.
This introduced a race since the message struct could be
out of scope because the spi_sync call got completed.
Fixes this leak on spi bus driver spi-bcm2835.c when transfer
size is greater than 65532:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
