KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC is useless because we already save kernel messages inside
/proc/vmcore, and it is unsafe to allow modules to do other stuffs in a
crash dump scenario.

Instead, use the new 'mtd_can_have_bb()', or just rely on 'mtd_block_markbad()'
return code, which will be -EOPNOTSUPP if bad blocks are not supported.

This patch introduces new 'mtd_can_have_bb()' helper function which checks
whether the flash can have bad eraseblocks. Then it changes all the
direct 'mtd-&gt;block_isbad' use cases with 'mtd_can_have_bb()'.

Instead of checking if 'mtd-&gt;panic_write' is defined, call 'mtd_panic_write()'
and check the error code - '-EOPNOTSUPP' will be returned if the function is
not defined.

This patch is part of a patch-set which changes the MTD interface
from 'mtd-&gt;func()' form to 'mtd_func()' form. We need this because
we want to add common code to to all drivers in the mtd core level,
which is impossible with the current interface when MTD clients
call driver functions like 'read()' or 'write()' directly.

At this point we just introduce a new inline wrapper function, but
later some of them are expected to gain more code. E.g., the input
parameters check should be moved to the wrappers rather than be
duplicated at many drivers.

This particular patch introduced the 'mtd_erase()' interface. The
following patches add all the other interfaces one by one.
