When DT declares the partitions of an spi-nor device using
"fixed-partitions", the individual mtdblockN partitions are now scanned
for partitition tables, which should not happen.
Fix this by setting the GENHD_FL_NO_PART flag in the MTD block layer
interface.

Seen with e.g. arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7791-koelsch.dts.
I only noticed because I have debug code to measure QSPI performance,
which informed me about 8 x 512 bytes being read from each partition
detected.
RFC as I'm not sure this is correct in all cases.
I did verify that in the absence of "fixed-partitions", the spi-nor
device is not scanned for partitions before and after commit
1ebe2e5f9d68e94c.
