The mtdblks array and its content are prone to race conditions. Introduce
the mutex mtdblks_lock in order to solve this.

Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS.

This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS
keywords from the MTD code.

This also includes code that printed them to the user.

Currently, mtd_blkdevs enforces a block size of 512, even if the drivers
can seemingly request a different size. This patch fixes mtd_blkdevs so
block sizes other than 512 work correctly.

Ram devices get the extra capability of MTD_NO_ERASE - not requiring
an explicit erase before writing to it.  Currently only mtdblock uses
this capability.  Rest of the patch is a simple text replacement.

Most of those macros are unused and the used ones just obfuscate
the code. Remove them and fixup all users.

mtdblock is the only user of aggregate capabilities in mtd.  This is clearly
bogus and should be changed.  In particular, it tries to determine whether
the device in question is a piece of RAM.  For every single driver that fits
the current criteria, an easier test would be to check for the type being
MTD_RAM.

Semaphore to mutex conversion.

The conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated
automatically via a script as well.
