spi: Make master->handle_err() callback optional to avoid crashes

Browse Source 
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.
