mtd: Avoid probe failures when mtd->dbg.dfs_dir is invalid
Commit e8e3edb95ce6 ("mtd: create per-device and module-scope debugfs entries") tried to make MTD related debugfs stuff consistent across the MTD framework by creating a root <debugfs>/mtd/ directory containing one directory per MTD device. The problem is that, by default, the MTD layer only registers the master device if no partitions are defined for this master. This behavior breaks all drivers that expect mtd->dbg.dfs_dir to be filled correctly after calling mtd_device_register() in order to add their own debugfs entries. The only way we can force all MTD masters to be registered no matter if they expose partitions or not is by enabling the CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER option. In such situations, there's no other solution but to accept skipping debugfs initialization when dbg.dfs_dir is invalid, and when this happens, inform the user that he should consider enabling CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER.
