Subject: mtd: spi-nor: fix wrong "fully unlocked" test

From: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>

commit 06586204714b7befec99e554c71687b0b40f351c upstream.

In stm_unlock(), the test to determine whether we've fully unlocked the
flash checks for the lock length to be equal to the flash size. That is
a typo/think-o -- the condition actually means the flash is completely
*locked.* We should be using the inverse condition -- that the lock
length is 0 (i.e., no protection).

The result of this bug is that we never actually turn off the Status
Register Write Disable bit, even if the flash is completely unlocked.
Now we can.
