UBI: cleanup usage of try_module_get

Browse Source 
The use of try_module_get(THIS_MODULE) in ubi_get_device_info does not
offer real protection against unexpected driver unloads, since we could
be preempted before try_modules_get gets executed. It is the caller who
should manipulate the refcounts. Besides, ubi_get_device_info is an
exported symbol which guarantees protection when accessed through
symbol_get.
