mtd: spi-nor: Avoid setting SRWD bit in SR if WP# signal not connected

Setting the status register write disable (SRWD) bit in the status
register (SR) with WP# signal of the flash left floating or wrongly tied to
GND (that includes internal pull-downs), will configure the SR permanently
as read-only. If WP# signal is left floating or wrongly tied to GND, avoid
setting SRWD bit while writing the SR during flash protection.
