Subject: [PATCH 4.4 057/112] mtd: mtdoops: Dont write panic data twice

From: Mark Tomlinson <mark.tomlinson@...iedtelesis.co.nz>

[ Upstream commit c1cf1d57d1492235309111ea6a900940213a9166 ]

If calling mtdoops_write, don't also schedule work to be done later.

Although this appears to not be causing an issue, possibly because the
scheduled work will never get done, it is confusing.

Fixes: 016c1291ce70 ("mtd: mtdoops: do not use mtd->panic_write directly")
