[PATCH] mtd: add OTP (one-time-programmable) erase ioctl

This may sound like a contradiction but some SPI-NOR flashes really
support erasing their OTP region until it is finally locked. Having the
possibility to erase an OTP region might come in handy during
development.

The ioctl argument follows the OTPLOCK style.

Changes since RFC:
 - check write permissions for OTPERASE
 - use correct ioctl macro (_IOW)
