Bug: misaligned memory access in cmdlinepart.c

[Timofei V. Bondarenko]

Hi,

in mtdpart_setup_real()/newpart() command line parser
'this_mtd' structure can be misaligned,
it may cause exception on some kind of CPU.

That happened because the structure got mixed with partition names 
allocated in a variable length area.

I've attached a simle patch, not very elegant though.

Regards.
	Timofei.
