Check if gendisk is already up instead of trying to figure out parent
mtd device (which didn't work well).

about the block device index.

Allow using the FIT block-device partition partition parser to work on
top of mtdblock devices.
This is more tricky than it sounds as it requires to reorganize the
procedure of registering mtdblock devices in order to avoid locking
troubles caused by the block partition parsers then trying to open
the mtdblock device for reading while locks are still being held.
Fix that by moving the adding of the disks after the entire device
has been probed when locks no longer need to be held.
Also address issue with mtdsuper surfaced when using sub-partitions
which prevented mounting JFFS2 using the /dev/mtdblock* device.
