I'm afraid that this patch won't cover following three situations 
completely:
1. gluebi_create -> ftl_add_mtd -> mtd_read -> gluebi_read:
    gluebi->desc is NULL.       (√)
2. fd = open(/dev/ubi0_0, O_WRONLY)
     ubi_open_volume  // vol->writers = 1

          P1                    P2
    gluebi_create -> mtd_device_register -> add_mtd_device:
    device_register   // dev/mtd1 is visible

                      fd = open(/dev/mtd1, O_WRONLY)
                       gluebi_get_device
                        gluebi->desc = ubi_open_volume
                         gluebi->desc = ERR_PTR(EBUSY)

    ftl_add_mtd
     mtd_read
      gluebi_read
       gluebi->desc is ERR_PTR       (√)
3.         P1                    P2
    gluebi_create -> mtd_device_register -> add_mtd_device:
    device_register   // dev/mtd1 is visible

                      fd = open(/dev/mtd1, O_WRONLY)
                       gluebi_get_device
                        gluebi->desc = ubi_open_volume

    ftl_add_mtd
     mtd_read
      gluebi_read
       gluebi->desc is not ERR_PTR/NULL

                     close(fd)
                      gluebi_put_device
                       ubi_close_volume
                        kfree(desc)
       ubi_read(gluebi->desc)   // UAF  (×)

No need to modify 'gluebi_write' and 'gluebi_erase'.
