And here go two more interesting patches.  The first is removing all
locking from the mtd driver.  Since the existing locking code is nearly
impossibly to verify, I'd rather have something simple and wrong than
something complicated and wrong.

The second rearranges the list locking a bit.  Previously it was
possible to touch maple_waitq or maple_sentq without holding the lock.
With my limited understanding of the driver, the second patch may
already be enough to prevent the type of corruption you've been seeing.
