[PATCH v2 07/11] pstore/blk: skip broken zone for mtd device

[WeiXiong Liao <liaoweixiong@allwinnertech.com>]

It's one of a series of patches for adaptive to MTD device.

MTD device is not block device. As the block of flash (MTD device) will
be broken, it's necessary for pstore/blk to skip the broken block
(bad block).

If device drivers return -ENEXT, pstore/blk will try next zone of dmesg.
