Subject: [PATCH] mtd: set mtd partition panic write flag

Check mtd panic write flag and set the mtd partition panic
write flag so that low level drivers can use it to take
required action to ensure oops data gets written to assigned
mtd partition.

Fixes: 9f897bfdd8 ("mtd: Add flag to indicate panic_write")
