mtd: core: Fix refcount error in del_mtd_device()

del_mtd_device() will call of_node_put() to mtd_get_of_node(mtd), which
is mtd->dev.of_node. However, memset(&mtd->dev, 0) is called before
of_node_put(). As the result, of_node_put() won't do anything in
del_mtd_device(), and causes the refcount leak.

del_mtd_device()
    memset(&mtd->dev, 0, sizeof(mtd->dev) # clear mtd->dev
    of_node_put()
        mtd_get_of_node(mtd) # mtd->dev is cleared, can't locate of_node
                             # of_node_put(NULL) won't do anything

Fix the error by caching the pointer of the device_node.
