spi: fix use-after-free on managed registration failure

The SPI API is asymmetric and the controller is freed as part of
deregistration (unless it has been allocated using
devm_spi_alloc_host/target()).

A recent change converting the managed registration function to use
devm_add_action_or_reset() inadvertently introduced a (mostly
theoretical) regression where a non-devres managed controller could be
freed as part of failed registration. This in turn would lead to
use-after-free in controller driver error paths.

Fix this by taking another reference before calling
devm_add_action_or_reset() and not releasing it on errors for
non-devres allocated controllers.

An alternative would be a partial revert of the offending commit, but
it is better to handle this explicitly until the API has been fixed
(e.g. see 5e844cc37a5c ("spi: Introduce device-managed SPI controller
allocation")).
