Subject: [PATCH] mtd:avoid blktrans_open/release race and avoid insmod ftl.ko deadlock

this modification can fix the is issue in commit
857814ee65dbc942b18b2dc713124ffff043035e "mtd: fix: avoid race condition
when accessing mtd->usecount ",also can solve the issue about it happen
dealock when ismod ftl.ko. the original process is as follows:
init_ftl
register_mtd_blktrans
mutex_lock(&mtd_table_mutex) //mtd_table_mutex locked
ftl_add_mtd
add_mtd_blktrans_dev
device_add_disk
register_disk
blkdev_get
__blkdev_get
blktrans_open
mutex_lock(&mtd_table_mutex) //dead lock

this patch can prevent some mtd_table_mutex lock race undiscovered.

I would propose to revert both above commit and the original offender 008c751e,
which aims for questionable module removal relaxation, but for the costs of subtle
race which can only be solved introducing first recursive lock in the kernel.
