[PATCH] mtd: Add LED trigger support "mtd-disk" to indicate activity

Register a MTD LED trigger called "mtd-disk" (similar to the "ide-disk" and
"nand-disk" triggers) to indicate read / write / erase acitivity. Panic writes
and OOB reads / writes are not covered as of now. The trigger is global as it
does not discriminate between individual devices or partitions.
The patch uses the generic LED trigger interface which can be configured via
SYSFS (/sys/class/leds/<name>/trigger) or DTS file entry for "gpio-leds"
(linux,default-trigger = "mtd-disk").

Since the MTD framework is independant of the memory devices, driver-specific
LED triggers like "nand-disk" will indicate a subset of all MTD activity.

Tested on Microblaze architecture with Micron N25Q256A serial flash.
Added a bit of documentation (including other new LED triggers).
