drivers: spi: report synchronous completion status
The SPI API allows waiters to block until SPI I/O has completed. The
asynchronous subset of the API allows waiters to learn a status value
for the result of the I/O. However, the synchronous API does not allow
this.
Due to this limitation, synchronous API users cannot learn when
interrupt-driven I/O fails, which precludes proper error handling.
Resolve this limitation by adding a sync_status field to struct
spi_context, and using it to return operation results to the waiter.
Since there is only one status field, reduce the maximum number of
supported waiters from UINT_MAX to 1. This is not a problem for
current users, which all wait with the entire context locked.
