[PATCH v3] mtd: cmdlinepart: check the partitions

The partitions are all sorted well by the @offset.
But we should check if there are errors in the partitions.

The following cases are regarded as errors:
  [1] There is a hole in the partitions, such as
      #gpmi-nand:100m(boot),100m at 100m(kernel),1g at 200m(rootfs)

  [2] There is a overlap in the partitions, such as
      #gpmi-nand:100m at 0(boot),100m at 50m(kernel),1g at 150m(rootfs)

  [3] Not all the partitions are set with @offset, and there are
      more then one partion whose offset is OFFSET_CONTINUOUS.
      #gpmi-nand:100m at 0(boot),100m(kernel),-(usr)
