[Skiboot] [PATCH v3 03/13] core/flash: Don't hold flash_lock for the entirety of an opal_flash_op()

From: Cyril Bur <cyril.bur at au1.ibm.com>

It doesn't make sense to hold the lock to the flash for an entire flash
op. The flash_lock provides mutual exclusion to the flashes structure
and each flash element has a busy boolean which ensures that mutual
exclusion on access of the flash.
