pstore/blk: Support non-block storage devices
Add support for non-block devices (e.g. MTD). A non-block driver calls pstore_blk_register_device() to register iself. In addition, pstore/zone is updated to handle non-block devices, where an erase must be done before a write. Without this, there is no way to remove records stored to an MTD.

+ *
+ * @total_size: The total size in bytes pstore/blk can use. It must be greater

+ * @flags: Refer to macro starting with PSTORE_FLAGS defined in
+ * linux/pstore.h. It means what front-ends this device support.
+ * Zero means all backends for compatible.
+ * @read: The general read operation. Both of the function parameters
+ * @size and @offset are relative value to bock device (not the
+ * whole disk).
+ * On success, the number of bytes should be returned, others
+ * means error.
+ * @write: The same as @read, but the following error number:
+ * -EBUSY means try to write again later.
+ * -ENOMSG means to try next zone.
+ * @erase: The general erase operation for device with special removing
+ * job. Both of the function parameters @size and @offset are
+ * relative value to storage.
+ * Return 0 on success and others on failure.
+ * @panic_write:The write operation only used for panic case. It's optional
+ * if you do not care panic log. The parameters are relative
+ * value to storage.
+ * On success, the number of bytes should be returned, others
+ * excluding -ENOMSG mean error. -ENOMSG means to try next zone.
