nrf: fix bug in SPI.Tx

There was what appears to be a race condition in the Tx function. While
it would work fine in many cases, when there were interrupts (such as
when using BLE), the function would just hang waiting for `EVENTS_READY`
to arrive.

I think what was happening was that the `spi.Bus.RXD.Get()` would start
the next transfer, which would complete (and generate an event) before
`EVENTS_READY` was reset to 0. The fix is easy: clear `EVENTS_READY`
before doing something that can trigger an event.

I believe I've seen this bug before on the PineTime but I couldn't find
the issue back then.
