[PATCH v2 2/2] fsi: sbefifo: Validate pending user write

This commit rejects user write operation if previous write operation is
still pending.
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.
