Subject: [PATCH v2] ubi: block: Fix cleanup handling

ubiblock's remove handling has a couple of problems:

- It uses the gendisk after put_disk(), resulting in a use-after-free.

- There is a circular locking dependency between disk->open_mutex (used
from del_gendisk() and blkdev_open()) and dev->dev_mutex (used from
ubiblock_open() and ubiblock_remove()).

Fix these by implementing ->free_disk() and moving the final cleanup
there.

Changes in v2:
- Combine and rework patches to implement and use ->free_disk().
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
