[PATCH v3] block: support mtd:<name> syntax for block devices

[Joakim Tjernlund <joakim.tjernlund@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This enables mounting, like JFFS2, MTD devices by "label":
   mount -t squashfs mtd:appfs /tmp
where mtd:appfs comes from:
 # >  cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
...
mtd22: 00750000 00010000 "appfs"
