[PATCH linux-next] ubi: block: Fix a possible use-after-free bug in ubiblock_create()

Smatch warns:
	drivers/mtd/ubi/block.c:438 ubiblock_create()
	warn: '&dev->list' not removed from list

'dev' is freed in 'out_free_dev:, but it is still on the list.

To fix this, delete the list item before freeing.

Fixes: 91cc8fbcc8c7 ("ubi: block: set BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING")
