[PATCH 3/3] UBI: Fix possible deadlock in erase_worker()

[Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>]

If sync_erase() fails with EINTR, ENOMEM, EAGAIN or
EBUSY erase_worker() re-schedules the failed work.
This will lead to a deadlock because erase_worker() is called
with work_sem held in read mode. And schedule_erase() will take
this lock again.
