[MTD] add get and put methods

This patch adds get_device() and put_device() methods to the MTD description
structure (struct mtd_info). These methods are called by MTD whenever the MTD
device is get or put. They are needed when the underlying driver is something
smarter then just flash chip driver, for example UBI.
