When the generic implementation of the transfer_one_message callback was called by the spi_pump_messages function, if that transfer was to fail, the spi_finalize_current_message was called twice, once in spi_transfer_one_message, and one in spi_pump_messages. This was causing a null pointer dereference in the second call, because the first one set the ->cur_msg field to NULL. Since the SPI framework expect the transfer_one_message callback to call spi_finalize_current_message, we can remove it from spi_pump_messages, together with any dereference of the ->cur_msg pointer.
