[PATCH 1/2] devfs: take into account for the partitions check that mtd is different

mtd partitions are separate devices. Their partition info is relative to
these subdevices and so offset is 0 for them. This needs to be taken
into account for the overlap check.

Fixes: 7f9f45b9bfef ("devfs: Do not create overlapping partitions")
