[PATCH] [MTD-UTILS] mkfs.jffs2 and device_table

Using (-D, --devtable) with device table file filled with the complete
list of the files of the filesystem doubles the size of the result jffs2 image.

interpret_table_entry() calls find_filesystem_entry with mode, but the
function expects type. This causes that entry is never found.

This leads to adding that file into the image again!

find_filesystem_entry() also matches file types and only if they
matches, it tests if the current entry is directory and if it is
needed to descend into it.

If (e.g.) caller want to find a regular file, function never
tries to descend into the subdirectories of the current directory.

This also leads to adding file into the image again because entry is not found!

Diff is against mtd-utils.git-7a1db21c1806ee25a279ea8a71d2884b8080c805.tar.gz

Please apply.
