spi: Make master->handle_err() callback optional to avoid crashes
If a driver doesn't implement the master->handle_err() callback and an
SPI transfer fails, the kernel will crash with a NULL pointer
dereference:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
pgd = c0003000

Make the master->handle_err() callback optional to avoid the crash.
Also fix a spelling mistake in the callback documentation while we're at
it.
