mtd_blkdevs: Add background processing support
Add a new background method into mtd_blktrans_ops, add background support
into mtd_blktrans_thread(), and add mtd_blktrans_cease_background().
If the mtd blktrans dev has the background support, the thread will
call background function when the request queue becomes empty. The background
operation may run as long as needs to until
mtd_blktrans_cease_background() tells to stop.
