[PATCH 2/8] mtd: spi-nor: guard against underflows in stm_is_locked_sr

Users of stm_is_locked_sr() might do arithmetic that could result in a
negative offset. For example, when stm_unlock() tries to check the
status of the eraseblock below the range, it doesn't check for:

  ofs - mtd->erasesize < 0

Instead of forcing callers to be extra careful, let's just make
stm_is_locked_sr() do the right thing and report errors for invalid
ranges.

Also, fixup the calculations in stm_unlock(), so we:
(a) can handle non-eraseblock-aligned offsets and
(b) don't look for a negative offset when checking the first block
