[RFC PATCH 2/2] mtd: spi-nor: sst: remove global SNOR_F_HAS_LOCK

This is considered bad for the following reasons:
 (1) We only support the block protection with BPn bits for write
     protection. Not all SST parts support this.
 (2) Newly added flash chip will automatically inherit the "has
     locking" support and thus needs to explicitly tested. Better
     be opt-in instead of opt-out.
 (3) There are already supported flashes which don't support the locking
	 scheme. So I assume this wasn't properly tested before adding that
	 chip; which enforces my previous argument that locking support should
	 be an opt-in.

Remove the global flag and add individual flags to all flashes
which supports BP locking. In particular the following flashes
don't support the BP scheme:
 - SST26VF016B
 - SST26WF016B
 - SST26VF064B
