Currently, we don't have vfs nodes for querying the underlying flash name
and flash id. This information is important especially when we want to
know the flash detail of the defective system. In order to support the
query, we add mtd_debugfs_populate() to create two debugfs nodes
(ie. partname and partid). The upper driver can assign the pointer to
partname and partid before calling mtd_device_register().

Changes in V7:
- Remove unused check for partname/partid
- Previous discussion: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1109200/
Changes in V6:
- Create the debugfs only when the partname/partid is not NULL
- Previous discussion: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1109041/
Changes in V5:
- Move debugfs_create_dir() to mtd_debugfs_populate()
- Previous discussion: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1107810/
Changes in V4:
- Separate the change to two patches. The first patch is adding the general
  handling for the partname and partid in the mtdcore.c. The second patch
  is enabling the two debugfs nodes for spi-nor.
- Previous discussion: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1097377/
Changes in v3:
- Add partname and partid to mtd.h and create debugfs inside mtdcore.c
- Previous discussion: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1095731/
Changes in v2:
- Change to use debugfs to output flash name and id
- Previous discussion: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1067763/
