[PATCH] mtd: ofpart: drop undocumented, nonfunctional 'lock' property

[Brian Norris <computersforpeace-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

The 'lock' property of a partition does nothing, because it effectively
only sets the flags for the partition device, not the master device. And
no MTD driver checks for MTD_POWERUP_LOCK in the partition device, only
the master device.

Michal noticed that this flag was undocumented, but rather than document
a non-functioning DT property, let's just kill it, since obviously no
one cared about it.

Note that this logic does not apply to all MTD flags (e.g., the
"read-only" flags above the "lock" one), since certain flags *do* get
checked in the partition, at least in some cases (particularly, when
checking file permissions in mtdchar.c, but notably *not* in the core
APIs like mtd_write()).
