To give spi flash layout using "mtdparts=..." in cmdline, we must
give mtd_info a fixed name,because the cmdlinepart's parser will
match the name given in cmdline with the mtd_info.

Now, if use OF node, mtd_info's name will be spi->dev->name. It
consists of spi_master->bus_num, and the spi_master->bus_num maybe
dynamically fetched.
So, give the mtd_info a new fiexd name "name.cs", "name" is name of
spi_device_id and "cs" is chip-select in spi_dev.

v2:
 - add check for return value of function kasprintf.
 - whether the spi_master->bus_num is dynamical is determined by spi
   controller driver, and it can't be check in this driver. So, we can
   not initial the mtd_info's name by distinguishing the spi_master
   bus_num dynamically-allocated or not.
