mtd: track maximum number of bitflips for each read request

Browse source

mtd_read_oob() callers are currently oblivious to the details of ECC
errors detected during the read operation - they only learn (through the
return value) whether any corrected bitflips or uncorrectable errors
occurred.  More detailed ECC information can be useful to user-space
applications for making better-informed choices about moving data
around.

Extend struct mtd_oob_ops with a pointer to a newly-introduced struct
mtd_req_stats and set its 'max_bitflips' field to the maximum number of
bitflips found in a single ECC step during the read operation performed
by mtd_read_oob().  This is a prerequisite for ultimately passing that
value back to user space.
