Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mtd:nand:fix nand_lock/unlock() function

[bpqw]

Do nand reset before write protect check
If we want to check the WP# low or high through STATUS READ and check bit 7,
we must reset the device, other operation (eg.erase/program a locked block) can
also clear the bit 7 of status register.
