Subject: [PATCH 1/1 RESEND] mtd: block2mtd: char mtd major and erasesize
 parameter check + mutex_destroy

-Deny use of a char mtd device to map as block device.
-mutex_init when mtd structure is available.
-fixme applied : check device size is a multiple of erasesize.
-mutex_destroy on each device in block2mtd_exit and add_device failure.
