[PATCH] UBI: fix use after free in ubi_remove_volume()

We can't use "vol" after it has been freed.

Sorry for my early conclusion.

The reference of ubi_volume had already been increased in ubi_open_volume()
in ubi_cdev_ioctl(), so this reference dropped in ubi_remove_volume() will not
be the last one, and there will no use-after-free problem.

Tao
