The last messages which happens before a crash might contain interesting information about the crash. This patch reworks mtdoops using the kmsg_dumper support instead of a console, which simplifies the code and also includes the messages before the oops started. On oops callbacks, the MTD device write is scheduled in a work queue (to be able to use the regular mtd->write call), while panics call mtd->panic_write directly. Thus, if panic_on_oops is set, the oops will be written out during the panic. A parameter to specify which mtd device to use (number or name), as well as a flag, writable at runtime, to toggle wheter to dump oopses or only panics (since oopses can often be handled by regular syslog). The patch was massaged and amended by Artem.
