Subject: [PATCH -next V2 2/2] ubi: fix race between volume operations and uif_close

KASAN reported a UAF about ubi:

The following race could cause the use-after-free problem:
           cpu1                   cpu2                  cpu3

    ubi_free_volume
    // double free

To solve this problem, add spin_lock(&ubi->volumes_lock) in uif_close.
