Documentation: ABI: mtd: describe "offset" more precisely

Browse Source 
So far Linux supported only two levels of MTD devices so we didn't need
a very precise description for this sysfs file. With commit
97519dc52b ("mtd: partitions: add support for subpartitions") there
is support for a tree structure so we should have more precise
description. Using "parent" and "flash device" makes it more accurate.

Description:
For a partition, the offset of that partition from the start
of the master device in bytes. This attribute is absent on
main devices, so it can be used to distinguish between
partitions and devices that aren't partitions.
of the parent (another partition or a flash device) in bytes.
This attribute is absent on flash devices, so it can be used
to distinguish them from partitions.
