[MTD] NAND: Reorganize chip locking
The code was wrong in several aspects. The locking order was
inconsistent, the device aquire code did not reset a variable
after a wakeup and the wakeup handling was not working for
applications where multiple chips are sharing a single
hardware controller.
When a hardware controller is available the locking is now
reduced to the hardware controller lock and the waitqueue is
moved to the hardware controller structure in order to avoid
a wake_up_all().
The problem was pointed out by Ben Dooks, who also found the
missing variable reset as main cause for his deadlock problem.
