In certain cases, memory device is present as flat file or block device (via
mmc or mtdblock layer). Do not attempt MTD operations against it.

Changes for v2:
   - Coding Style cleanup
   - Clarified an error message
Changes for v3:
   - Used MTD_ABSENT macro to represent non-MTD devices
   - Cleaned up places when zero was used instead of MTD_ABSENT
Changes for v4:
   - Further clarification to failed fstat() error message
   - Improved flash_read() error handling to include file names
