[RFC] mtd: Fix error code loss in mtdchar_read() function.

[ZhaoLong Wang]

In the first while loop, if the mtd_read() function returns -EBADMSG
and 'retlen' returns 0, the loop break and the function returns value
'total_retlen' is 0, not the error code.

This problem causes the user-space program to encounter EOF when it has
not finished reading the mtd partion, and this also violates the read
system call standard in POSIX.
