kernel: 4.19: fix crash when setting up spi-gpio

If an spi-gpio was specified with num-chipselects = <0> in dts, kernel
will crash:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 32697073
 pgd = (ptrval)

 [<c05faa34>] (spi_gpio_probe) from [<c05a844c>] (platform_drv_probe+0x34/0x70)

The cause is spi_gpio_setup() did not check if the spi-gpio has
chipselect pins before setting their direction and results in derefing
an invalid pointer.

The bug is spotted in kernel 4.19.72 and does not occur in 4.14.

There is a similar fix upstream in kernel 5.2 in commit 249e2632dcd0
("spi: gpio: Don't request CS GPIO in DT use-case").

The cause is spi_gpio_setup() did not check if the spi-gpio has chipselect pins
before setting their direction and results in derefing an invalid pointer.
The bug is spotted in kernel 4.19.72 on OpenWrt, and does not occur in 4.14.
There is a similar fix upstream 249e2632dcd0509b8f8f296f5aabf4d48dfd6da8.
