[PATCH] mtdchar: initialize MEMREAD statistics before each read

[James Hilliard]

mtd_read_oob() can reject an invalid OOB range before initializing
ops->stats. mtdchar_read_ioctl() nevertheless accumulates the per-read
statistics before checking the return code and copies the accumulated
values back to userspace, even when the ioctl returns an error.

Initialize the local statistics on every loop iteration so a rejected
read contributes zero counters and preserves statistics from any earlier
completed reads.
