Coverity has reported that inside the function "onenand_block_by_block_erase()" 
in onenand_base.c, we should add a check to prevent the incrementing of 
possible NULL value for "region"

This patch is not against the upstream kernel, I could not apply it. But
it is trivial enough and I could manually apply it. Pushed to
l2-mtd-2.6.git tree, thanks.
