PATCH v3 1/1 mxs/spi: Fix misuse of init_completion
The init_completion() call does reinit not only the variable carrying the flag that the completion finished, but also initialized the waitqueue associated with the completion. On the contrary, the INIT_COMPLETION() call only reinits the flag.
In case there was anything still stuck in the waitqueue, subsequent call to init_completion() would be able to create possible race condition. This patch uses the proper function and moves init_completion() into .probe() call of the driver, to be issued only once.
Note that such scenario is impossible, since two threads can never enter the mxs_spi_txrx_dma(), since whole this section is protected by mutex in SPI core. This by no means allows this issue to exit though.

V2: Update the patch description and snap a whip over myself for being lazy to
write one in the first place!
V3: Replace INIT_WORKQUEUE() with INIT_COMPLETION(), typo in patch description.
