nvm_tgt_types list was protected by wrong lock for NVM_INFO ioctl call
and can race with addition or removal of target types. Also
unregistering target type was not protected correctly.
Fixes: 5cd907853 ("lightnvm: remove nested lock conflict with mm")

V2: also add correct lock while unregistering and fix "Fixes" tag at
end. Note I found these while investigating another issue and
skimming the core code but worth fixing.
