Bradley Bolen 7f29ae9f97 ubi: block: Fix locking for idr_alloc/idr_remove 
This fixes a race with idr_alloc where gd->first_minor can be set to the
same value for two simultaneous calls to ubiblock_create.  Each instance
calls device_add_disk with the same first_minor.  device_add_disk calls
bdi_register_owner which generates several warnings.

However, device_add_disk does not error out when bdi_register_owner
returns an error.  Control continues until reaching blk_register_queue.
It then BUGs.

Locking idr_alloc/idr_remove removes the race and keeps gd->first_minor
unique.
