Zhihao Cheng 844c6fdc13 ubi: Revert "ubi: wl: Close down wear-leveling before nand is suspended" ...

Commit 5580cdae05 ("ubi: wl: Close down wear-leveling before nand is
suspended") added a reboot notification in UBI layer to shutdown the
wear-leveling subsystem, which imported an UAF problem[1]. Besides that,
the method also brings other potential UAF problems, for example:
       reboot             kworker
 ubi_wl_reboot_notifier
  ubi_wl_close
   ubi_fastmap_close
    kfree(ubi->fm)
                     update_fastmap_work_fn
		      ubi_update_fastmap
		       old_fm = ubi->fm
		       if (old_fm && old_fm->e[i]) // UAF!

Actually, the problem fixed by commit 5580cdae05 ("ubi: wl: Close down
wear-leveling before nand is suspended") has been solved by commit
8cba323437 ("mtd: rawnand: protect access to rawnand devices while in
suspend"), which was discussed in [2]. So we can revert the commit
5580cdae05 ("ubi: wl: Close down wear-leveling before nand is
suspended") directly.
