[PATCH v2 1/3] imx-usb-loader: exit with success when displaying help on purpose

Previously, whenever the usage was displayed, the imx-usb-loader exited
with error code.
When the usage is displayed due to invalid tool invocation, returning an
error code is valid behaviour, but when displaying the usage with the -h
command line option, success should be returned.
The other usage() callsite in the code already has an exit(1) following
it, which is why the exit call can be removed from the usage function
without introducing any behavioural change there.

Changelog:
v1 -> v2: - fixed erronous commit subject
- added comment in commit message why removing the exit()
call is from the usage() function is valid, even when not
explicitely adding an exit() call at all call sites
