[avr] Improved SPI speed on 16bit transfer.

From https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/pull/2376#issuecomment-59671152

Quoting Andrew Kroll:

   [..this commit..] introduces a small delay that can prevent the wait
   loop form iterating when running at the maximum speed. This gives
   you a little more speed, even if it seems counter-intuitive. At
   lower speeds, it is unnoticed. Watch the output on an oscilloscope
   when running full SPI speed, and you should see closer back-to-back
   writes.

Quoting Paul Stoffregen:

   I did quite a bit of experimenting with the NOP addition. The one
   that's in my copy gives about a 10% speedup on AVR.
