Caught a simple bug when testing with a non-READ_RETRY NAND. See below.

This increment shouldn't be done for all ECC failures, but only for
failures where there are remaining read-retry modes (i.e., flash that
support read retry).

I'll send a v2 with the following extra diff:

diff --git a/drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c b/drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c
index 82efd819f31b..aeafcdce6cc0 100644
