[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Fix quad-enable for flashes with QER bit in SR1

Some flashes (eg. from Macronix) do set BFPT_DWORD15_QER_SR1_BIT6, which
means they do not have an SR2 to read from/write to. The new generic QE
helper was supposed to accommodate this situation but in the last version
that got merged, parts of that specific handling has been moved to a
more contained location, swp.c (which needed most of the extra code),
yet the Macronix case has been forgotten about in that generic QE
handling helper. Booting with such flashes will always fail probing.
Fix the situation by making sure we do not attempt to read SR2 if the QE
bit is in SR1.
