[PATCH v2] mtd: spi-nor: perform read-back check after SR lock/unlock

[Brian Norris]

When programming the Status Register for performing write protect, it's
important to know the result of the operation (i.e., success or
failure). Particularly, it's possible to fail when the hardware write
protect pin (WP#) is asserted, potentially disallowing writes to the
status register. Previously, even if we weren't able to update the
status register, ioctl(MEMLOCK) and ioctl(MEMUNLOCK) would return
success.

Let's add a read-back check, to make sure that the status register was
updated appropriately. If the relevant bits weren't updated, then return
-EIO.

v2:
 * factor out spi_nor_update_sr_rb() to do the repeated update steps for both
   stm_{un,}lock()
 * add a few comments
 * make the dbg print more suggestive about WP#
