[PATCH 13/15] mtd_debug: cleanup error handling in flash_to_file

[David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@sigma-star.at>]

The existing code had multiple error handling labels and did things
like checking if a buffer is not NULL before freeing it.

This patch collapses all of this into a single label. We can do this,
because the standard guarantees us that it is safe to call free() with
a NULL pointer.

This also has the side effect of removing the possibility of using the
wrong error label and accidentally leaking something.
