kernel: backport support for "linux,rootfs" in DT
This DT property allows marking flash partition that Linux should use as a root device. It's useful for devices that don't use U-Boot and cmdline parser for partitioning. It may be used with "fixed-partitions" or some dynamic partitioning based on flash content. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl> (cherry picked from commit d33e49857e3ad76586ebe55334996b15cd45ca1b)

-Subject: kernel/3.1[02]: move MTD root device setup code to mtdcore
-
-The current code only allows to automatically set
-root device on MTD partitions. Move the code to MTD
-core to allow to use it with all MTD devices.
