Declare mtdsuper to be gpl-licensed so it can access get_mtd_device and
put_mtd_device when loaded as a module.

The actual issue was a bit different -- refer commit bec494775600b1cd in latest -git (patch included below). David, it looks like .22 had this problem as well. If we care enough, you could forward this on to -stable (cc'ed, just in case).

Fix the Makefile to ensure this, and remove duplicate MODULE_ declarations in mtdpart.c, as mtdcore.c already has them.
