[PATCH] mtd: fix use-after-free in mtd release

I case of partition device_unregister in mtd_device_release
calls mtd_release which frees mtd_info structure for partition.
All code after device_unregister in mtd_device_release thus
works already freed memory.
Move part of code to mtd_release and restict mtd->dev cleanup
to non-partion object.
For partition object such cleanup have no sense as partition
mtd_info is removed.
