Commit 6098475d4cb4 ("spi: Fix deadlock when adding SPI controllers on
SPI buses") introduced a per-controller mutex. But mutex_unlock() of
said lock is called after the controller is already freed:

  spi_unregister_controller(ctlr)
  -> put_device(&ctlr->dev)
    -> spi_controller_release(dev)
  -> mutex_unlock(&ctrl->add_lock)

Move the put_device() after the mutex_unlock().

If you are sending a new version of something please flag that in the
commit message, this helps both people and automated systems identify
that this is a new version of the same thing.

Are RFC patches eligible to be picked up? I wasn't sure if I had to
resend it at all. But since there was a mistake in the commit message
anyway, I went ahead and the the first "real" version. How would
you flag that? Isn't changing the subject from "[PATCH RFC]" (ok it
was "RFC PATCH", my bad) to "[PATCH]" enough?

No, both people and machines are going to get confused.
