Commit Message

Since the creation of mtd_erase(), the function can return a negative
error code without updating the instr->state flag. This happens for
instance when ->_erase() is not implemented or ->erasesize has an invalid
value. The calling function should error out in this case.

Functions in nftlmount/inftlmount call mtd_erase() without checking the
return code. The instr->state flag is checked but might not have been
updated depending on the error path.

Add checks on the returned value of mtd_erase().

This changes a bit after this series [1]: no more instr->state field
and the caller has to check the return code of mtd_erase() to determine
whether the operation failed or succeed.

Most of the changes you're doing here are already taken care of in [2].
