[PATCH v2] mtd: nftl/inftl: check mtd_erase() return value

Since the creation of mtd_erase(), the function can return a negative
error code without updating the instr->state flag. This happens for
instance when ->_erase() is not implemented or ->erasesize has an invalid
value. The calling function should error out in this case.
Functions in nftlmount/inftlmount call mtd_erase() without checking the
return code. The instr->state flag is checked but might not have been
updated depending on the error path.
Add checks on the returned value of mtd_erase().
