The reason I had the class creation code in its own initcall
is to ensure that it's there even when procfs isn't.  This
init_mtd() stuff is only there if procfs is configured.

So I don't much like this part of Kevin's change ... unless
MTD becomes dependent on procfs.  If there's an issue with
CONFIG_MTD=m then there's a better fix than this.
