[PATCH v4 2/4] mtd: mtdconcat: don't use mtd_{suspend,resume}()

From: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon at collabora.com>

The MTD suspend logic will soon be adjusted to automatically wait for
device wake-up before issuing IOs. In order to do that a new read-write
lock will be added and taken in write-mode in the
mtd_{suspend,resume}() path. Since mtdconcat.c itself is an MTD device,
calling mtd_suspend/resume() on subdevices from the mtdconcat
->_{suspend,resume}() hook will lead to a nested lock, which lockdep
will complain about if we don't add a proper annotation. Let's keep
things simple and replace those mtd_{suspend,resume}(subdev) calls by
subdev->_{suspend,resume}() ones to avoid this situation.
