spi: add spi_message_init_no_memset to avoid zeroing the spi_message
In the spi_loopback_test driver there is the need to initialize
a spi_message that is filled with values from a static structure.
Applying spi_message_init to such a prefilled structure results in
all the settings getting reset to zero, which is not what we want.
Copying each field of spi_message separately instead always includes
the risk that some new fields have not been implemented in the copying
code.
So here we introduce a version of spi_message_init called
spi_message_init_no_memset that does not fill the structure
with zero first, but only initializes the relevant list_heads.
