    UBI: fix race condition · ddbd3b61
    Artem Bityutskiy authored
    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'.
