genalloc: add support of multiple gen_pools per device
This change fills devm_gen_pool_create()/gen_pool_get() "name" argument stub with contents and extends of_gen_pool_get() functionality on this basis. If there is no associated platform device with a device node passed to of_gen_pool_get(), the function attempts to get a label property or device node name (= repeats MTD OF partition standard) and seeks for a named gen_pool registered by device of the parent device node. The main idea of the change is to allow registration of independent gen_pools under the same umbrella device, say "partitions" on "storage device", the original functionality of one "partition" per "storage device" is untouched.
