This patch fixes the return status of the mtd_torture function
in libmtd.

The torture test function is currently only used by the ubiformat
utilitiy to check if a block is bad after a write fails (blocks are
marked bad if the function returns an error status). However, the
way the function was written, it ALWAYS returns an error value
irregardless of whether it failed or not.
