UBI: fix race condition
This patch fixes a minor problem where we may fail to wake
upe the UBI background thread. This is not fatal at all,
it may just result at sligtly worse performace for a short
period of time, just because the thread will be woken up
when real I/O on the UBI starts.
Anywey, the issue is the race condition between
'ubi_attach_mtd_dev()' and 'ubi_thread()'. If we do not
serialize them, the 'wake_up_process()' call may be done
before 'ubi_thread()' went seep, but after it checked
'ubi->thread_enabled'.
