[PATCH v3 2/2] fsi: sbefifo: Handle pending write command

[Ninad Palsule]

If previous write command is still pending then free it first.

As per the current kernel driver design, write operation prepares a
buffer for FSI write, the actual FSI write is performed on next read
operation. There is a possibility of memory leak if buggy application
sends two back to back writes or two parallel writes.
