mtd: rawnand: Simplify the locking



nand_get_device() was complex for apparently no good reason. Let's
replace this locking scheme with 2 mutexes: one attached to the
controller and another one attached to the chip.

Every time the core calls nand_get_device(), it will first lock the
chip and if the chip is not suspended, will then lock the controller.
nand_release_device() will release both lock in the reverse order.

nand_get_device() can sleep, just like the previous implementation,
which means you should never call that from an atomic context.

We also get rid of

- the chip->state field, since all it was used for was flagging the
  chip as suspended. We replace it by a field called chip->suspended
  and directly set it from nand_suspend/resume()
- the controller->wq and controller->active fields which are no longer
  needed since the new controller->lock (now a mutex) guarantees that
  all operations are serialized at the controller level
- panic_nand_get_device() which would anyway be a no-op. Talking about
  panic write, I keep thinking the rawnand implementation is unsafe
  because there's not negotiation with the controller to know when it's
  actually done with it's previous operation. I don't intend to fix
  that here, but that's probably something we should look at, or maybe
  we should consider dropping the ->_panic_write() implementation

Last important change to mention: we now return -EBUSY when someone
tries to access a device that as been suspended, and propagate this
error to the upper layer.
