[RFC PATCH 06/20] mtd: set flash_node on DT-created partitions

add_mtd_partitions_of() creates MTD partition slaves from device-tree
sub-nodes but never stores the originating ofnode on the partition.
This means there is no way to match a registered MTD partition back
to its DT node.
Set slave->flash_node = child right after allocate_partition() so
that every DT-created partition carries a reference to its DT node.
This will be used by the image_loader UBI backend to find the MTD
partition that corresponds to a 'compatible = "linux,ubi"' node.
