BUG: missing get_mtd_device when running cat /dev/mtdblock*

[Jörn Engel]

While debugging on a 2.6.5 kernel (with fairly recent mtd) I noticed
that mtdblock appears to be bypassing get_mtd_device().

Can anyone verify this on current mtd by adding a simple printk() to
get_mtd_device() and running cat /dev/mtdblock0 > /dev/null or so?

I am assuming this is not desired behaviour and should get fixed.
