[PATCH] mtd:spi-nor: Fix an issue of releasing resources during read/write

[Yicong Yang <yangyicong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Xiang Chen <chenxiang66@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If rmmod the driver during read or write, the driver will release the
resources which are used during read or write, so it is possible to
refer to NULL pointer.

Use the testcase "mtd_debug read /dev/mtd0 0xc00000 0x400000 dest_file &
sleep 0.5;rmmod spi_hisi_sfc_v3xx.ko", the issue can be reproduced in
hisi_sfc_v3xx driver.

To avoid the issue, fill the interface _get_device and _put_device of
mtd_info to grab the reference to the spi controller driver module, so
the request of rmmod the driver is rejected before read/write is finished.

The patch has been tested with hisi_sfc_v3xx controller. May someone
could test it on a spi-nor-controller device as we don't have one
aside.
