Currently, it is expected that this operates only on the message
struct and doesn't poke any hardware so no locking is currently
required. And, yes, it is up to peripheral drivers that opt in to
pre-optimization to follow the rules of not touching the message while
it is in the optimized state. For peripheral drivers that don't call
spi_optimized_message(), nothing has really changed.
