spi: bcm2835: fill FIFO before enabling interrupts to reduce interrupts/message 

To reduce the number of interrupts/message we fill the FIFO before
enabling interrupts - for short messages this reduces the interrupt count
from 2 to 1 interrupt.

There have been rare cases where short (<200ns) chip-select switches with
native CS have been observed during such operation, this is why this
optimization is only enabled for GPIO-CS.
