When the process at the source of an i2c transfer is killed in the
middle of the transfer, the transfer is interrupted. Interrupted
transfers might cause buggy slaves on the bus (or higher level drivers)
to go haywire.
This patch forces ongoing i2c transfers to finish properly, even if the
initiating process is killed.

I already sent a similar patch ;-)

Oops, this looks like a human race condition :) I checked main line and
Wolfram's git but didn't think of checking patchwork. I'll rebase the
second patch on yours.
