Callers of erase_write() always pass an unsigned int.
So this patch avoids a cast to an int.

<title>mtd: Unconditionally update -&gt;fail_addr and -&gt;addr in part_erase()</title>

-&gt;fail_addr and -&gt;addr can be updated no matter the result of
parent-&gt;_erase(), we just need to remove the code doing the same thing
in mtd_erase_callback() to avoid adjusting those fields twice.

Note that this can be done because all MTD users have been converted to
not pass an erase_info-&gt;callback() and are thus only taking the
-&gt;addr_fail and -&gt;addr fields into account after part_erase() has
returned.

While we're at it, get rid of the erase_info-&gt;mtd field which was only
needed to let mtd_erase_callback() get the partition device back.

None of the mtd-&gt;_erase() implementations work in an asynchronous manner,
so let's simplify MTD users that call mtd_erase(). All they need to do
is check the value returned by mtd_erase() and assume that != 0 means
failure.

The global lock mtdblks_lock was used to protect the original mtdblks
array to avoid race conditions. As the mtdblks array was already gone,
but the mtdblks_lock is left, and it causes latency when open/release dev.
So we need to remove it here.

This patch moves the char and block major number definitions
to major.h to be with the rest of the major numbers.
While doing this, include major.h in the files that need it.
