Moving the kfree() to ->free_disk() works, but the list_del() still
needs to be in ubiblock_remove() since otherwise ubiblock_remove() could
attempt to remove the same device twice.

I assumed the current code really wanted to prevent new openers racing
with delete, but if that is not needed, yes, we don't need to add a
->removing flag if we move the kfree() to ->free_disk().  I'll re-spin
this based on your suggestions.  Thanks.
