The ->prepare()/->unprepare() hooks are now legacy, and there are only two controllers left supporting them. In both cases, the implementation acquires a mutex, which is somehow redundant with the spi-nor main lock that we acquire as well in the spi_nor_[un]lock_and_[un]prep() helpers. While the mutex taken in the core is necessary, the helper can be reorganized to first do the preparation, then acquire the core lock. This is necessary in order to be able to improve the locking mechanism in the core and should have no side effect.
