spi: bitbang: Let spi_bitbang_start() take a reference to master

Many drivers that use bitbang library have a leak on probe error paths.
This is because once a spi_master_get() call succeeds, we need an additional
spi_master_put() call to free the memory.

Fix this issue by moving the code taking a reference to master to
spi_bitbang_start(), so spi_bitbang_start() will take a reference to master on
success. With this change, the caller is responsible for calling
spi_bitbang_stop() to decrement the reference and spi_master_put() as
counterpart of spi_alloc_master() to prevent a memory leak.

So now we have below patten for drivers using bitbang library:

probe:
spi_alloc_master        -> Init reference count to 1
spi_bitbang_start       -> Increment reference count
remove:
spi_bitbang_stop        -> Decrement reference count
spi_master_put          -> Decrement reference count (reference count reaches 0)

Fixup all users accordingly.
