mtd: don't WARN about overloaded users of mtd->reboot_notifier.notifier_call
There are multiple types of users of mtd->reboot_notifier.notifier_call: (1) A while back, the cfi_cmdset_000{1,2} chip drivers implemented a reboot notifier to (on a best effort basis) attempt to reset their flash chips before rebooting. (2) More recently, we implemented a common _reboot() hook so that MTD drivers (particularly, NAND flash) could better halt I/O operations without having to reimplement the same notifier boilerplate. Currently, the WARN_ONCE() condition here was written to handle (2), but at the same time it mis-diagnosed case (1) as an already-registered MTD. Let's fix this by having the WARN_ONCE() condition better imitate the condition that immediately follows it. (Wow, I don't know how I missed that one.) (Side note: Unfortunately, we can't yet combine the reboot notifier code for (1) and (2) with a patch like [1], because some users of (1) also use mtdconcat, and so the mtd_info struct from cfi_cmdset_000{1,2} won't actually get registered with mtdcore, and therefore their reboot notifier won't get registered.)
