UBI: bugfix: protect from volume removal
When the WL worker is moving an LEB, the volume might go away
occasionally. UBI does not handle these situations correctly.
This patch introduces a new mutex which serializes wear-levelling
worker and the the 'ubi_wl_put_peb()' function. Now, if one puts
an LEB, and its PEB is being moved, it will wait on the mutex.
And because we unmap all LEBs when removing volumes, this will make
the volume remove function to wait while the LEB movement
finishes.
Below is an example of an oops which should be fixed by this patch:
