mtd: add ECC error accounting for each read request

Extend struct mtd_req_stats with two new fields holding the number of
corrected bitflips and uncorrectable errors detected during a read
operation.  This is a prerequisite for ultimately passing those counters
to user space, where they can be useful to applications for making
better-informed choices about moving data around.

Unlike 'max_bitflips' (which is set - in a common code path - to the
return value of a function called while the MTD device's mutex is held),
these counters have to be maintained in each MTD driver which defines
the '_read_oob' callback because the statistics need to be calculated
while the MTD device's mutex is held.
