mtd: nand: relax ecc.read_page() return value for uncorrectable ECC

Browse source 
The comment for ecc.read_page() requires that it should return
"0 if bitflips uncorrectable".

Actually, drivers could return positive values when uncorrectable
bitflips occur.  For example, nand_read_page_swecc() is the case.
If ecc.correct() returns -EBADMSG for the first ECC sector, and
a positive value for the second one, nand_read_page_swecc() returns
a positive max_bitflips and increments ecc_stats.failed for the same
page.

The requirement can be relaxed by tweaking nand_do_read_ops().
Move the max_bitflips calculation below the retry.
