    mtd: nand: fix shutdown/reboot for multi-chip systems
    
    If multiple NAND chips are registered to the same controller, then when
    rebooting the system, the first one will grab the controller lock, while
    the second will wait forever for the first one to release it. i.e., a
    classic deadlock.
    
    This problem was solved for a similar case (suspend/resume) back in
    commit 6b0d9a841249 ("mtd: nand: fix multi-chip suspend problem"), and
    the shutdown state really isn't much different for us, so rather than
    adding a new special case to nand_get_device(), we can just overload the
    FL_PM_SUSPENDED state.
    
    Now, multiple chips can "get" the same controller lock (preventing
    further I/O), while we still allow other chips to pass through
    nand_shutdown().
