[patch] RF212 frame receive doesn't always complete SPI transfer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Receive a frame which gets rejected by the RadioReceive.header() check.
2. Attempt to receive another frame.
3. Note how the frame is not actually received, as downloadMessage() does not 
get called, as the previous SPI transfer has not been properly finished.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A received frame in (2).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
TinyOS-2.x trunk

Please provide any additional information below.

To properly finalize the SPI transfer, a FastSpiByte.read() has to be called. 
In the call path where RadioReceive.header(msg) returns false, this does not 
happen, which screws up the next receive.
