kernel: backport patch to relax mtdblock NAND warning

Instead of warning loudly about mtdblock devices being created, rather
just warn if they are actually used.

+
+This is more likely to annoy than to help users of embedded distros where
+this driver is enabled by default.  Making the blockdevs available does
+not imply that they are in use, and warning about bootloader partitions
+or other devices which obviously never will be mounted is more confusing
+than helpful.
+
+Move the warning to open(), where it will be of more use - actually warning
+anyone who mounts a file system on NAND using mtdblock.
