We cannot modify file->f_mapping->backing_dev_info, because it will corrupt
backing device of device node inode, since file->f_mapping is equal to
inode->i_mapping (see __dentry_open() in fs/open.c).

Let's introduce separate inode for MTD device with appropriate backing
device.

Changelog
 v2 -> v3:
  - Rebase to mtd.git.
 v1 -> v2:
  - Fix error handling based on comments by Jan Kara.

I get the following build error:

  Ah, right. igrab() should be used instead of __iget inside the
inode_lock.
