Hi Joern,

this patch addresses a number of small issues mainly regarding
the output made by this driver to dmesg:
  - Some of the "blkmtd"'s had not been changed to "block2mtd"
    which caused display problem
  - the parse_err() macro was displaying "block2mtd: " twice

Also, one can add a block2mtd mtd device with things like:

echo /dev/loop3,$((256*1024)) |
  sudo tee /sys/module/block2mtd/parameters/block2mtd

but individual mtds cannot be removed. You can only do a
modprobe -r block2mtd to remove *all* the block2mtd mtds.

This patch proposes to add the cabability with:

echo /dev/loop3,remove |
  sudo tee /sys/module/block2mtd/parameters/block2mtd
