[PATCH] MTD: fix slab-use-after-free due to dangling pointer in notifier chain

When attaching MTDs, a reboot notifier is added to the blocking
notification chain. However, when detaching a MTD and freeing its
related objects, the notifier is never unregistered from the
notification chain and is freed during the detaching process. This
results in the slab-use-after-free.
To fix this, I added an unregister notifier function in the ubi_wl_close
function to ensure that the notifier is removed from the chain after the
device has been detached.
