mtd: sf: Make sf_mtd.c more robust
SPI flash based MTD devs can be registered/unregistered at any time through the sf probe command or the spi_flash_free() function. This commit does not try to fix the root cause as it would probably require rewriting most of the code and have an mtd_info object instance per spi_flash object (not to mention that the the spi-flash layer is likely to be replaced by a spi-nor layer ported from Linux). Instead, we try to be as safe as can be by checking the code returned by del_mtd_device() and complain loudly when there's nothing we can do about the deregistration failure. When that happens we also reset sf_mtd_info.priv to NULL, and check for NULL pointer in the mtd hooks so that -ENODEV is returned instead of hitting a NULL pointer dereference exception when the MTD instance is later accessed by a user.
