[PATCH] ubi: Fix UAF wear-leveling entry in eraseblk_count_seq_show()

Wear-leveling entry could be freed in error path, which may be accessed
again in eraseblk_count_seq_show(), for example:

__erase_worker                eraseblk_count_seq_show
                                wl = ubi->lookuptbl[*block_number]
				if (wl)
  wl_entry_destroy
    ubi->lookuptbl[e->pnum] = NULL
    kmem_cache_free(ubi_wl_entry_slab, e)
		                   erase_count = wl->ec  // UAF!

Wear-leveling entry updating/accessing in ubi->lookuptbl should be
protected by ubi->wl_lock, fix it by adding ubi->wl_lock to serialize
wl entry accessing between wl_entry_destroy() and
eraseblk_count_seq_show().
