    mtd: block2mtd: fix recursive call of mtd_writev
    
    The 'mtd_writev' interface calls the function assigned
    to the '_write' field of a given mtd device if that is
    not NULL. The block2mtd driver sets the '_writev' field
    to the 'mtd_writev' function itself and thus causes a
    endless loop.
    
    This is caused by 1dbebd32562b3c2caeca35960e5cb00bfcc12900
    (mtd: harmonize mtd_writev usage).
    
    Remove the assignment from the block2mtd driver to fix the
    issue.
