pstore_driver sets .type = filetype_uimage, likely copied from uimagefs.
pstore doesn't read from a device at all, so it shouldn't claim a type.

This is harmless so far, because file system detection never reports
uImages, but if it did, mounting a uImage without uimagefs enabled would
mount pstore instead. Let's drop the type. Startup code mounts pstore
with an explicit type, so it's not affected.

jffs2 only works on MTD, but nothing keeps it from being probed for
other devices. mount -t jffs2 on a block device leaves the MTD pointer
NULL and jffs2_do_fill_super() dereferences it right away.

Let's fail the probe instead, like ubifs does when it's not given a UBI
volume.
