mtd: Fix issue where write_cached_data() fails but write() still returns success
The following sequence is problematic:
mtdblock_flush()
-->write_cached_data()
--->erase_write()
mtdblock: erase of region [0x40000, 0x20000] on "xxx" failed
Problem is: mtdblock_flush() always returns 0. Indeed, even if
write_cached_data() fails and data is not written to the device,
syscall_write() still returns success. Avoid this situation by
actually returning the error coming out of write_cached_data().
