This call may only be used from a context that may sleep. The sleep is non-interruptible, and has no timeout.
This call should be used by drivers that require exclusive access to the SPI bus. The SPI bus must be released by a spi_bus_unlock call when the exclusive access is over. Data transfer must be done by spi_sync_locked and spi_async_locked calls when the SPI bus lock is held.
It returns zero on success, else a negative error code.
