Subject: [PATCH 5.10 152/530] mtd: dont lock when recursively deleting partitions

From: David Bauer <mail@...id-bauer.net>

[ Upstream commit cb4543054c5c4fd33df960b41d7b483ebca8e786 ]

When recursively deleting partitions, don't acquire the masters
partition lock twice. Otherwise the process ends up in a deadlocked
state.
