[PATCH -next] mtd/ftl: Fix uaf in ftl_remove_dev()

del_mtd_blktrans_dev will reclaim the resources of mtd_blktrans_dev,
and call kfree(dev) in blktrans_dev_put to release the memory of
mtd_blktrans_dev, so when ftl_freepart reclaims the memory of other
member pointers of the partition_t, it will trigger the uaf problem,
Fix it by moving ftl_freepart in front of del_mtd_blktrans_dev.
