UBI: fix race condition
This patch fixes a minor problem where we may fail to wake upe the UBI background thread. This is not fatal at all, it may just result at sligtly worse performace for a short period of time, just because the thread will be woken up when real I/O on the UBI starts. Anywey, the issue is the race condition between 'ubi_attach_mtd_dev()' and 'ubi_thread()'. If we do not serialize them, the 'wake_up_process()' call may be done before 'ubi_thread()' went seep, but after it checked 'ubi->thread_enabled'. This issue was spotted by Shin Hong <hongshin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
