The original code set use_dma to false when dma_alloc_coherent() for
bounce buffers failed, but DMA channels acquired earlier via
atmel_spi_configure_dma() were never freed.

When devm_request_irq() or clk_prepare_enable() failed later in probe,
the driver also did not release DMA channels or bounce buffers already
allocated.

The out_free_dma error path released DMA channels but did not free the
bounce buffers.

Fix by moving bounce buffer allocation into atmel_spi_configure_dma()
and registering the devres cleanup for DMA channels and bounce buffers.
