[PATCH v2] mtd: Fix mtd not the same name not registered if nvmem

[Ricardo Ribalda Delgado <ribalda@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When the nvmem framework is enabled, a nvmem device is created per mtd
device/partition.

It is not uncommon that a device can have multiple mtd devices with
partitions that have the same name. Eg, when there DT overlay is allowed
and the same device with mtd is attached twice.

Under that circumstances, the mtd fails to register due to a name
duplication on the nvmem framework.

With this patch we add a _1, _2, _X to the subsequent names if there is
a collition, and throw a warning, instead of not starting the mtd
device.

v2: I left behind on my patch a 

mtd->nvmem = NULL;

from my tests. Sorry.
