I've already sent v2 of this patch, as Intel Linux test setup spot the
error with lack of #define guards.

I also thought about this. However, from my use case the user must end
the transmission with CTRL+C on his user space program, which in turn
communicate via SPI with /dev/spidev3.0.
There might be many (potential) programs using the /dev/spidev3.0 at the
same time, so the usage count may be not one.
For the above reason I've moved it outside the above if().
