[PATCH v2 1/2] lightnvm: hold lock until finish the target creation

[Wenwei Tao]

From: Wenwei Tao <ww.tao0320@xxxxxxxxx>

When create a target, we check whether the target is
already exist first. If the answer is no, we release
the lock and continue the creation. This cannot prevent
concurrent creation of the same target, so hold the lock
until finish the target creation.
