Subject: [ 45/82] mtd: block2mtd: fix recursive call of mtd_writev

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gabor Juhos <juhosg@...nwrt.org>

commit 2e24e32e2759348c9290404abad4f729f791bfad upstream.

The 'mtd_writev' interface calls the function assigned
to the '_write' field of a given mtd device if that is
not NULL. The block2mtd driver sets the '_writev' field
to the 'mtd_writev' function itself and thus causes a
endless loop.

This is caused by 1dbebd32562b3c2caeca35960e5cb00bfcc12900
(mtd: harmonize mtd_writev usage).

Remove the assignment from the block2mtd driver to fix the
issue.
