    spi: lpspi: Avoid potential use-after-free in probe()
    
    [ Upstream commit 2ae0ab0143fcc06190713ed81a6486ed0ad3c861 ]
    
    fsl_lpspi_probe() is allocating/disposing memory manually with
    spi_alloc_host()/spi_alloc_target(), but uses
    devm_spi_register_controller(). In case of error after the latter call the
    memory will be explicitly freed in the probe function by
    spi_controller_put() call, but used afterwards by "devm" management outside
    probe() (spi_unregister_controller() <- devm_spi_unregister() below).
