Subject: [GIT PULL 03/58] lightnvm: protect target type list with correct locks

From: Rakesh Pandit <rakesh@...era.com>

nvm_tgt_types list was protected by wrong lock for NVM_INFO ioctl call
and can race with addition or removal of target types.  Also
unregistering target type was not protected correctly.

Fixes: 5cd907853 ("lightnvm: remove nested lock conflict with mm")
