nanddump: check write function result for errors
Errors may happen, it's e.g. easy on embedded devices to run out of space when dumping big partitions. This patch adds a helper function for writing. It deals with partial writes and just returns 0 on success or error number. The old code didn't check for errors at all which could result in incomplete dumps without exiting with an error.
