[PATCH v2] mtd: nand: fix off-by-one read retry mode counting

A flash may support N read retry voltage threshold modes, numbered 1
through N-1 (where mode 0 represents the initial state). However,
nand_do_read_ops() tries to use mode 0 through N.

This off-by-one error shows up, for instance, when using nanddump, and
we have cycled through available modes:

    nand: setting READ RETRY mode 0
    nand: setting READ RETRY mode 1
    nand: setting READ RETRY mode 2
    nand: setting READ RETRY mode 3
    nand: setting READ RETRY mode 4
    nand: setting READ RETRY mode 5
    nand: setting READ RETRY mode 6
    nand: setting READ RETRY mode 7
    nand: setting READ RETRY mode 8
    libmtd: error!: cannot read 8192 bytes from mtd0 (eraseblock 20, offset 0)
            error 22 (Invalid argument)
    nanddump: error!: mtd_read

Tested on Micron MT29F64G08CBCBBH1, with 8 retry modes.

v1 -> v2: N modes means we should use modes 0 to N-1, not 0 to N
