UBI: Preserve torture flag when rescheduling failed erasures

Browse source 
In __erase_worker(), when ubi_sync_erase() returns -EINTR, -ENOMEM,
-EAGAIN, or -EBUSY, the physical eraseblock is rescheduled for erasure
via schedule_erase() with the torture flag hardcoded to 0. This
unconditionally drops the torture request.

If the error occurred before torture_peb() completed (e.g., -ENOMEM
from the ec_hdr allocation in ubi_sync_erase(), errors from
self_check_not_bad()/nor_erase_prepare() in ubi_io_sync_erase(), or
torture_peb() failing mid-test because its internal do_sync_erase()/
ubi_io_read()/ubi_io_write() returned one of the above error codes),
the torture test was never finished. Such a PEB may reach the free
pool without being tortured, defeating the purpose of the torture
test for detecting marginally-bad eraseblocks.

If the error occurred after torture_peb() succeeded (the final
do_sync_erase() in ubi_io_sync_erase() or ubi_io_write_ec_hdr() in
ubi_sync_erase() failed), the torture has already been done and need
not be repeated.

Pass the torture flag by pointer to ubi_sync_erase() and
ubi_io_sync_erase(), and clear it to zero once torture_peb() has
completed successfully. __erase_worker() then forwards the updated
wl_wrk->torture to schedule_erase(): torture already done is dropped,
torture not completed is preserved across the reschedule.
