mtd: implement proper partition handling
Instead of collecting partitions in a flat list, create a hierarchy within the mtd_info structure: use a partitions list to keep track of the partitions of an MTD device (which might be itself a partition of another MTD device), a pointer to the parent device (NULL when the MTD device is the root one, not a partition). By also saving directly in mtd_info the offset of the partition, we can get rid of the mtd_part structure. While at it, be consistent in the naming of the mtd_info structures to ease the understanding of the new hierarchy: these structures are usually called 'mtd', unless there are multiple instances of the same structure. In this case, there is usually a parent/child bound so we will call them 'parent' and 'child'.
