Add support for non-block devices (e.g. MTD). A non-block driver calls
pstore_blk_register_device() to register iself.
In addition, pstore/zone is updated to handle non-block devices,
where an erase must be done before a write. Without this, there is no
way to remove records stored to an MTD.

One requirement to support MTD devices in pstore/zone is having a
way to declare certain regions as broken. Add this support to
pstore/zone.
The MTD driver should return -ENOMSG when encountering a bad region,
which tells pstore/zone to skip and try the next one.

Implement a common set of APIs needed to support pstore storage zones,
based on how ramoops is designed. This will be used by pstore/blk with
the intention of migrating pstore/ram in the future.
